Fall Fatal to Randina Sando of Wallingford

Randina Sando, 73, of Wallingford, died Saturday afternoon [February 16, 1946] about 4 p.m. in Holy Family hospital. Miss Sando fell about two weeks ago and fractured her hip. She was alone at the time that she fell and although she managed to get into her house could not get any help.

The next day about noon, a neighbor, Belle Egertson, found her unable to move and badly chilled. She was taken to Holy Family hospital then. Cause of her death was given as complications from the fracture.

Miss Sando was born Dec. 22, 1874 in Estherville township in a log cabin south of town. She received her education on Emmet county. For a number of years she was a housekeeper in fraternity houses in Minneapolis and Iowa City. She was a member of Wallingford Lutheran church.

Her survivors are two sisters, Mrs. G. Gilbert of Wallingford and Mrs. Tom Oxhovd, Wittenburg, Wisc.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Wallingford Lutheran church with the Rev. C. B. Gunderson officiating. Burial will be in the Wallingford Lutheran cemetery. Friends may call at the Mahlum and Sandin funeral parlors on Tuesday evening.
