Saturday morning, October 11th, Mrs. A. Visborg, quietly passed away at her home southwest of Jewell, death resulting from dropsy, from which she had suffered for about a year past. Funeral services were held yesterday at eleven o'clock from the home and at two o'clock from the Christian church in Jewell; Mr. Lars C.

Albertine Visborg was born in Denmark June 15th, 1845, and died at Jewell October 11th, 1913, at the age of 68 years, 3 months, and 26 days. In 1872 she came to America, locating in Chicago. In 1875 she was married at Chicago to Mr. Anders Visborg, to which union five children were born. The youngest son died at the age of 14, the others and the husband still surviving. The surviving children are Adolph F., who now lives in Montana and who was unable to reach Jewell in time for burial services, Mrs. Louisa Knudson, of Jewell, Mrs. E. C.
