Severt B. Knudson Dead

Last Wednesday, April 26 [1916] word was received from Minneapolis that Severt B. Knudson was dead. Mrs. Knudson had started to Minneapolis previous to receiving the telegram, and was not aware of his death until her arrival there. The remains were brought home Friday and the funeral was held Sunday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. Severtson. There was a large attendance at the funeral indicating the high esteem in which he was held by his neighbors and acquaintances.

Severt B. Knudson was born at St. Croix, Wis., August 20, 1869, and died April 26, 1916, at the age of 46 years, 8 months and six days. He moved with his parents to Emmet county when four years of age, settling in the farm where he lived until the time of his death.

He was married when twenty-seven years of age to Miss Carrie Lund, who with his mother, Mrs. Mona Knudson, one brother, H. H. Knudson of Emerald, Wis., one sister, Mrs. Theo Wold, and an adopted son, Gus Knudson, are left to mourn his death.
