DEATH OF EMMA C. GRONWALL.
Miss Emma Caroline Gronwall died at the residence of her brother, Mr. L. A.
Gronwall, at 10:30 o’clock Tuesday morning after but a few days serious
illness. She had been living in Minneapolis for the past year until a few
days ago when she came home, feeling perhaps that her end was near. She had
been troubled with rheumatism of the heart and it was the disease that
caused her death. She was born in Sweden on Oct. 30, 1884, and came to this
country about three years ago and made her home in her brother’s family. She
was the only relative that Mr. Gronwall had in this country, and her death
is a sad bereavement to him. The dead girl was a member of the Swedish
Lutheran Church and the funeral services of that church were held at the
house yesterday at 1 o’clock and at the church at 2 o’clock, after which the
burial took place.
