Mrs. Bertha Samuelson, a pioneer settler of Hamilton county passed away in Stratford Monday evening, January 18, 1909 at 11:45 o’clock, the cause of her death being due to a paralytic stroke which she received on Saturday morning. Deceased was born in Sweden September 13, 1833 and came to this country with her husband, Jonas Samuelson, in 1869, locating in Hamilton county.

Stroman, Frederick, S.D.; Mrs. P. J. Johnson, Stanhope, Iowa; and Mrs. P. Rostberg, Des Moines, Iowa. Besides these there are nine grandchildren and numerous friends to mourn her sudden demise.
