Elkader Register, Thur., 13 Feb. 1924.

The death of Albert Nelius Johnson occurred at his home near Gunder at 6 o'clock Friday morning February 29th, 1924, after a very brief illness. His death was due to pneumonia. Nurse Marie Skoien of Clermont, Iowa, was at his home taking care of him and all that loving hands and careful nursing could do was done but to no avail.

He was the only son of Nicholas and Augusta Johnson and was born January 27, 1907, and was at the time of his death 17 years, 1 month and 2 days.

He was baptized and confirmed by Rev. N. Arveson of St. Olaf who also was called home a few weeks ago. He was confirmed in 1922 with a class of ten others who all are left to mourn his loss.

He is survived by his father and mother; three sisters, Alma now Mrs. Anton Peterson, of Luana, Iowa; Ida and Nora at home; also many other relatives and friends.

The funeral services were held at the Marion Lutheran Church of Gunder Tuesday afternoon March 4th and interment was in the Marion cemetery, Rev. G. Gunsten of Clermont officiating.

He will be greatly missed at home, but knowing that he has gone to a better home so may his soul rest in peace.
