OBITUARY.

Word was received last Sunday that Gust Selander died in Sweden, Nov. 28, 1910, from heart failure. Gustaf Wilhelm Selander was born in Westergotland, Sweden, Sept. 4, 1853, came to America in the summer of 1880, and has ever since resided in Crawford county.

He was married in March, 1886, to Miss Amanda Flodin, of Denison, his wife having died in November, 1908. Mr. Selander left Denison the 18th of May, 1910, for a trip to Sweden to visit relatives. He and his wife made a trip to Sweden in 1901. He leaves three brothers and one sister in Sweden and one sister in-law and three nephews and three nieces at Denison, besides many friends. He was converted to God 32 years ago, and has ever since lived a true Christian life.

Many Denison and Crawford county friends deeply regret Mr. Selander's demise. For the past few years he had lived on the 40-acre farm just south of Denison, near the Woolston farm. He was a kind hearted, cheerful citizen and neighbor and will be missed by many.
