(11 May 1865 - 5 Mar 1934)
Note for Gullaug L. Swenson
Obituary from Hendricks Pioneer dated 16 March 1934:
Last Rites Held for Mrs. Sagmoe
Services Held at Free Church Wednesday, Laid to Rest in Hendricks Cemetery
Gullaug L. Swenson was born May 11th, 1865 at Singsaas, Norway, her parents being LarsSwensen and Ragnild P. Rephang. Here she was baptized and spent the first four years of her life. In 1869 she, together with her parents and two sisters, migrated to America and arrived at Spring Grove, Iowa in June of the same year. Here the family resided for seven years, until they, in the spring of 1876, arrived and took up their abode on a quarter section, which they homesteaded, located 1 mile east and ½ south of what is now the city of Hendricks. Here she was confirmed by Rev. Jakobsen in the Dist. 5 school house. This school house had been built the year previous. Incidentally, this was the only school house in Hendricks township.
On Nov. 15, 1883, she was united in marriage to Peder P. Sagmoe, Rev. Sorensen performing the ceremony. To this union eight children were born: Peter, Lavise (baptized as Louise -BAJ) (Mrs. P. C. Hinsverk), Albert, Randina, (Mrs. Anton Friestad), Eddie, Julia (Mrs. TheodoreEggen), and Lowell. A twin daughter, Randine, died in 1895. They are all married with the exception of Lowell, who has lived at home with the parents. The other children all reside in or in the immediate vicinity, of Hendricks.
In 1884, the deceased, together with her husband, homesteaded a quarter section 5 miles east and one-half south of Hendricks. Here they, like other pioneers, toiled early and late to establish a home where they, together with their children, could enjoy the fruit of their toils. She never spared herself, when in so doing, she could make others happy. In 1892, they bought a farm two miles further west, which remained as their home until in May of 1922, when they retired from active farm work and built a home in Hendricks, where they have since resided.
On Nov. 19th last, they had the distinct pleasure of celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. She was always a regular and prompt church attendant, a sincere and true Christian of whom it might be said, “She lived of and through the Word of God”.
On Thursday afternoon, March 1st, she, together with her husband, attended evangelistic services at the Lutheran Free church. They were, at the conclusion of services, invited by their daughter, Mrs. Teddy Eggen, to her home to partake of a lunch. Upon ascending the stairs, it was observed by her daughter that part of her face presented a contracted appearance, which proved to be the forerunner to the paralytic stroke that ended her useful and blessed life at 4:23 o’clock, Monday morning, March 5, 1934. Her husband, together with all her children and only sister, held a continuous intermittent vigilance at her bedside, but she never regained consciousness, and at the set hour, God severed the link that has, by His Grace, held body and soul together all these years, and whose life has been so completely dedicated and devoted to the service and glory of Him who doeth everything well.
”God’s angels coming down on errands sweet, Our angels going home She is well; she is happy, she is at home, she will never know a bereavement or a day’s illness, or further infirmities and trials of old age; she has now realized the secret of perpetual youth”. It is a comfort to know that God in His infinite wisdom never makes a mistake. She is now enjoying, by God’s grace, the reward of eternal bliss.
Blessed be her memory.
Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon, from the home and from the Lutheran Free church in Hendricks at 2 o’clock. The service in the home consisted of a few hymn stanzas, a short prayer by Rev. Mork, and a beautiful solo by Mrs. P.L Mork. At church a most beautiful and impressive program was given, consisting of several appropriate and well-rendered selections by the choir, together with a duet, “Jeg er en Femmed”, by Louis and Peder Pedersen. Another solo, “Tell Mother I’ll Be There”, by Mrs. Mork was delightfully received.
Rev. Mork delivered the funeral sermon and officiated both in the church and at the grave. His funeral text was Philippians 1:3- “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you”, and leaves a beautiful thought to those near and dear. Rev. Edw. L. Erickson spoke touchingly in the Norwegian language.
The flower bearers were the Misses Eda Hinsverk, Gladys Sagmoe, Bessie and Selma Swenson.
Pallbearers were her four sons: peter, Albert, Eddie and Lowell, together with two sons-in-law, Anton Friestad and Teddy Eggen. Interment was made in the family lot in the East Hendricks cemetery, where her only deceased child and parents are buried.
Besides her husband and children, she leaves to mourn her departure, one sister, Mrs. RagnildSwenson, sixteen grandchildren, and a host of near relatives and friends. Those from out of town attending were Mr. and Mrs. Olaus Udseth of Minneapolis, Mrs. J. C. Digre and Miss Carrie and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Digre, Mr and Mrs. Sivert Digre, and Mr. Leonard Brenas of Madison, Minn.
Gifts netting $34.50 were given as memorials in honor of Mrs. Sagmoe.Note for Gullaug L. Swenson
