The family came to this country twenty-three years ago and immediately located in Keokuk where they have since resided. Mrs. Carlson was a good neighbor, a kind wife and an affectionate mother, and many mourn her taking off. She was a devout and consistent member of the Swedish Lutheran church where will be missed her very helpful assistance.

She is survived by five children, three sons and two daughters, S. B. Carlson, of Waco, Texas; Mrs. H. L. Merrick, of Keokuk; B. A. Carlson, St. Louis, and Miss Amanda Carlson and Frank E. Carlson both of Keokuk.
