Died – Saturday afternoon, Oct. 24, 1891, Alberta Lucia Mattson, daughter of J. M. and S.C. Mattson of Estherville.

The death of this bright child was very sudden. Early Saturday morning she was taken with the usually fatal disease spinal neuingitis, and despite of everything that could be done, she died about five o’clock the same day. It is a terrible blow for the afflicted parents and general sympathy is entertained for them at this time. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Christian church. Rev.Redlien preached a comforting sermon, after which the dear one was laid to rest in the east side cemetery.

Will the many friends who so willingly gave their aid and sympathy in our late affliction please accept our sincere thanks. God will repay you, we can’t. – M.J. Mattson and S.C. Matson (Northern Vindicator, Estherville, IA, October 29, 1891)
