FEDSON FUNERAL
St. Ansgar Correspondence -- Osage News:
The funeral of Mr. C. Fedson occurred at the Norwegian Lutheran Church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. Gist, of Cedar Falls, preached a very touching sermon in the English language. He spoke eloquently upon the enobling virtues of our dead citizen and friend and what their bearing should have been upon the lives of those who had gathered at his bier to pay tribute to his memory.
Rev. J. Olson followed in the Norwegian language, and while we were unable to understand the words spoken by that venerable gentleman, the moisture of the eyes that were visible on the hundreds that were present told of their character and feeling. It was one of the largest
funerals held here for many years. People who were friends of the deceased came for miles to attend the last sad rites.
The floral tributes were many and beautiful. All the business places were closed between the hours of two and four o'clock and many of them were draped in mourning.
The remains were interred in St. Ansgar cemetery.
