The honorary pall bearers were Mrs. Naae, Mrs. L. Torreson, Mrs. Ole Wicks, Mrs. Lewis Sanvig, Mrs. S.E. Sanvig and Mrs. Raleigh. Eight of the campfire girls served as flower girls.

Mrs. Myhre was born at Algona March 1, 1873, and died at the Lutheran hospital at Des Moines Sunday November 10, 1929. She was married to Martin Myhre June 28, 1899, and came a once to Graettinger where they have always made their home. She leaves to mourn her death, her husband, one son, Arthur of Brookfield, Ill.; a daughter, Mrs. Merle Kedder of Towner, N. Dak., and Dorothy and Serene, who are at home. Thus another good Christian wife and mother has answered the call of the Heavenly Father to come home. Mrs. Myhre was always a thoughtful, kind neighbor, ever ready to help in anything that was for the betterment of the community.
