Earl Christiansen died Wednesday night at 10:30 o'clock at the home of his uncle, Chas. Levsen, northeast of DeWitt. He has been ill for several months and became dangerously so a few hours before his death. He was born June 11, 1891, at Clinton, attending rural and DeWitt public schools, and grew up to a fine young manhood here. He was married Aug. 20, 1913, to Florence Clement, whose untimely death occurred two weeks ago. A two months' old infant, Margaret Lucille, survives, as does his mother, Mrs. Dora Christiansen.

The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, services to be held at his late residence in North DeWitt, where the remains were taken last night.
