Was Stricken Rather Sudden
Andres O. Lande Called to His Last Long Rest Thursday Morning
Was On Streets Day Before
An Attack of Heart Trouble Was Responsible for This Respected Citizen’s Demise
Friends of Andrew O. Lande received a sudden shock last Thursday [January 7, 1915] when it was announced that Mr. Lande had died suddenly. He was taken sick in the morning at nine o’clock and at four he had passed to that great beyond from which no man returneth. Mr. Lande was on the street the day before and seemed to be in excellent health for a man of his age.

For twenty-seven years he has been a resident of Emmet county, and for six years a resident of Estherville. He was born in Norway on the sixth day of October, 1839 and came to America with his wife in 1868. For a few years they lived in Illinois from where they moved to this county. Since arriving in this country Mr. Lande has for the greater part of the time been engaged in farming, only leaving this occupation when he moved to Estherville to live.

There are eight children living, the following six residing in this city: Benjamine Lande, Lewis Lande, Martin Lande, Mrs. A.W. Oleson, Andrew Lande and Mrs. James Walrath.
