Obituary
Mrs. Albert Poulson

Alice Anderson was born June 11, 1870 in Hardin township, Webster county and died at her home April 16, 1943, at the age of 72 years, 10 months, 4 days. Her death came very suddenly and was a shock to surviving relatives who have the sincere sympathy of their friends.

She was united in marriage to Albert Poulson Feb. 26, 1889 and to them the following children were born, all of whom survive: Ruth Lincoln, of Chicago, Ill.; Elsie Roberts, of Lohrville; Oris Poulson, of Altoona; Florence Kelley and Lester Poulson, of Stratford. She is also survived by her husband and twelve grandchildren and three brothers, Elmer and Will Anderson, of Boxholm, and L.R. Anderson, of Stratford, other relatives and a host of friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. August [Christina Nilsdotter] Anderson, one brother, C.B. Anderson and one grandson, Lester Lincoln.

She had been a resident of this community for her entire life and was held in highest respect by all who knew her.

Last rites were held in the Mission church Monday afternoon and were in charge of the Rev. F.O. Abraham, of Boone. Misses Velva and Marie Berglund and Mrs. Arthur Larson sang several hymns with Helen Anderson playing the accompaniments.

Interment was in the South Marion cemetery with the following six nephews as pallbearers: Ralph, Earl, Clifford, Merrill and Russell Anderson.

Friends extend sincere sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
