Memorial services were held in the Norwegian church at Gunder last Sunday in honor of Theodore Wettleson, a young man of that locality who recently was killed in France fighting for Old Glory. The services were very impressive and a large gathering of friends were in attendance.

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE
He heard humanity's clear call,
And knew the voice divine;
He gave his life, he gave his all,
In deadly battle line.
The silent stars in love look down
Where lies this loyal son;
In frost and dew they weave a crown
Of honor he has won.
