Mrs. Barbara Pernille Anderson

Mrs. Barbara Pernille Anderson nee Johnson was born at Bremness, Norway, Sept. 30, 1862 and died at her home near Randall Aug. 14, 1926. She was at her death 63 years, 10 months and 14 days old. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church in Norway. In 1892 she came to America and has lived in this vicinity ever since.

She is survived by her husband and five children and a large number of other relatives and friends.
