OBITUARY.
Gunderson.
Inez Tomena, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Gunderson, was born in Albion township, Sept. 5th, 1915.
Little Inez was not thought at first to be seriously ill, and as it was thought best by her attending physician was removed to Mercy hospital Thursday Feb. 15th, where all that loving hearts and willing hands could do to prolong her sweet life was of no avail and at last the end came peacefully.
How bravely she battled for life but after much suffering the battle of life is ended and Inez is at rest: Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on his gentle breast.
This previous little life, the joy of the household, the very sunshine of their home, and constant companion of grandpa was brought to a close Wedneseday {sic}, Feb. 28th, at 1 o’clock a. m. She leaves to mourn her loss, parents, one brother and many other relatives.
Her death is indeed a great sorrow to all and in their bereavement they have the sympahty{sic} of their many friends
Funeral services were conducted Friday, by their pastor, Rev. Normann, at the Norwegian Lutheran church of Cresco, and she was laid to rest by the side of her little brother Lloyd in Oaklawn.

Dear mother don’t think of me in the tomb
For I shall not see its dark shadows and gloom
And I shall not fear though the river be wide
For Jesus will carry me over the tide.
I’m going to dwell with the angels so fair,
I’ll look for you mother, and wait for you there
Where tears do not flow and where death cannot come
Together we’ll dwell in that beautiful home.
You’ll know where to find me dear mother in Heaven.
The every found tie you have cherished be riven;
You’ll follow me home to the land of the blest
Where signs are not heard and the weary ones rest.

Card of Thanks.
We desire to extend our sincere thanks to the many neighbors and friends for their tender sympathy and kindness in our bereavement; also for the beautiful floral offerings in memory of our darling.
The Family.
