Our old pioneers are slowly passing away one by one. Last Wednesday [September 18, 1918] morning about six o’clock Mr. Syverson passed away, from some sort of heart trouble. He has lived in our community for a great many years, being nearly seventy-five years of age. He has resided on the farm now owned by his son, Sever, for a long time. The funeral was held Friday at the Riverside church and interment was made in that cemetery. He leaves to mourn his death his wife, a daughter, Mrs. Halvor Larson, and a son, Sever, all of whom reside in this vicinity. (Vindicator and Republican, Estherville, IA, September 25, 1918)

Note: per cemetery records, dod September 19, 1918
