OBITUARY

MRS. HENRY ANFENSON

In last week's paper we briefly noted the death of Mrs. Henry Anfenson. Since then we have obtained the following further facts of her life, which we gladly publish.

Andrina Larson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Larson, pioneer settlers of Scott Twp., was born at the old homestead a mile and a half northeast of Randall, Aug. 19th, 1876. She was married to Henry Anfenson Jan. 26th, 1909. She died Sunday morning April 6, 1913. She retained the full possession of her faculties and died in the faith in which she had lived, fully at peace with her God. She quickly resigned herself to what she considered the inevitable, having had but slight hope of recovery as soon as she heard the doctor's opinion regarding the disease she was suffering from, and first notices last summer.

Her sickness was characterized by Christian fortitude and patience, and she left us all a beautiful example.

Both of their oldest children died from Spinal Meningitis at the home in Canada in May, 1912. The youngest and only remaining child is a little girl 8 months old.
