Last Rites for Charlotte Kittleson Held Wednesday
Funeral services for Charlotte Kittleson, 16, who died at Mercy Hospital in Mason City Monday, March 8, 1954, were held Wednesday March 10, at the First Lutheran Church with the Reverend O. A. Langehough officiating.
Charlotte Marie Kittleson was born November 14, 1937, in St. Ansgar, the daughter of Floyd and Caroline Feldt Kittleson. She was baptized January 6, 1938 by the Reverend O.A. Langehough and was also confirmed by him at the First Lutheran Church May 27, 1951. Charlotte had been very eager and enthusiastic in her church work. She had been a Sunday school teacher since her confirmation and held offices in the Luther League.
Charlotte was a junior at the St. Ansgar High School, was very active in school affairs. She was secretary of her class, took part in Dramalog, FHA, Pep Club, was a first team cheerleader, a member of the band and sang in various vocal groups. She will also be remembered for her active participation in the local and county 4-H, serving as county vice-president last year.

Charlotte was rushed to Mercy Hospital in Mason City for emergency surgery and seemed to be improving steadily until Sunday afternoon when she suddenly became worse and passed away Monday, March 8, at 3:30 A.M.
Her family is comforted in the knowledge of Charlotte’s faith, for she received Holy Communion and was reciting the Lord’s Prayer when she sank into unconsciousness.
Charlotte Kittleson was preceded in death by three brothers, two infant brothers and Leroy.
She is survived by her parents, five brothers’ Galen, Marlin, Norman, Claire and James; three sisters, Marjorie,9 (Mrs. Dale Johnson), Carol (Mrs. Wayne Jones) and Virgene; also one niece and four nephews.
