11 February 1943 - The Clarence Sun

Mrs. Wm. Engelking died in a Minneapolis hospital on Friday, Jan. 22, 1943, and the funeral was held the following Tuesday at the Bethlehem Lutheran church in Darfur, the Reverend Olaf Wallin officiating. The attendance was large. Burial was in the Darfur cemetery.

Mrs. Engelking went to Minneapolis on Thursday to visit. Enroute she became seriously ill, became unconscious, and was taken to St. Mary's hospital, where she died at 3:30 next morning.

Lydia Elfreda Myhre was born at Rollag, Minn., May 14, 1890, to Rev. and Mrs. John Myhre. She grew to young womanhood and received her education in the Rollag community.

On August 11, 1913, she was married to Wm. Engelking here at Clarence. The young couple lived here until the spring of 1936 when they moved to Darfur. For the past two years they have lived on a farm in the East Sveadahl community.

Mrs. Engelking was refined in manners, active in church and social work and was loved by all who knew her.

Survivors are her husband, one daughter and two sons. The children are Wm. D. Engelking of Chicago, Carl M. Engelking of the air force located now at ElPaso, Texas, and Mrs. Leonard (Doris Anne) Falk of Mt. Lake, Minn. There is one granddaughter, Barbara Joyce Engelking of Chicago.

Her son Carl was enroute home on a furlough when his mother died and word could not be gotten to him, so he did not know of her death until he arrived in St. James, Minn., on Monday evening.

Mrs. Engelking's one brother and five sisters were present at the funeral. They are Nordahl Myhre, Minneapolis, Mrs. John Modisett, Detroit Lakes, Mrs. Lawrence Hansen, Barnsville, Mrs. Chas. Ebeltoft, Idaho Falls, Idaho, Mrs. Selma Spille and Mrs. Bertha Oyen, Minneapolis.

The lady had many friends in Clarence.
