Mrs. Theodore Magnuson, of St. Paul, a former and well-known Spencer resident, passed away last Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 12, at 4:15 o'clock in the Anchor hospital in St. Paul, following an illness of tuberculosis meningitis from which she suffered for several weeks.

The remains were brought to Spencer last Friday evening and taken to the Jones funeral home, West First street, where funeral rites took place Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. Benjamin J. Trickey, pastor of the Congregational church, had charge of the services. Mrs. Louis Helm and Mrs. Charles G. Rankin sang "In the Sweet By and By" and "We're Going Down the River One by One." Mrs. Howard Rice was pianist.
