CAWARD.
After several weeks of Illness, Mrs. R. S. Caward passed away Monday evening at the home on 3rd Ave. West.
Mary Swenson was born in Racine Co., Wis., Feb. 7, 1851, and united with the Norwegian Lutheran Church before she moved with her mother to Cresco.
On April 2, 1874, she was united in marriage to Russell S. Caward, who with her brother, Lorens Swenson, of Denver, Col., and a large number of nephews and neices, remain to mourn their loss.
For many years Mrs. Caward was one of the energetic and respected business woman of the city, engaged for a time in the millinery business, and later with her husband in the mercantile business. During later years she remained close to the home amid the flowers and surroundings she loved best.
The funeral services were conducted at the home Wednesday afternoon by Rev. John Gammons, with interment in Oak Lawn Cemetery.
