Funeral services for Mrs. Della L. Assorson, 92, who died at the St. Ansgar Good Samaritan Center August 7, 1979, were held August 10 at the First Lutheran church here with the Rev. Stephen Engelstad officiating.

Della Louise Wambem Assorson was born on a farm near Hatton, N.D. April 6, 1887, the daughter of Andrew and Anna (Hylden) Wambem. She was baptized by the Rev. C.G.M. Gronlid of Hatton. When she was eight years of age she was confirmed by the Rev. Skattebol. After graduating from high school, Mrs. Assorson taught in a country school at Mullin's Hill, Ala. In 1905, the family moved to St. Ansgar and she began work at the St. Ansgar Bank, remaining at this job for two years.

August 29, 1908, she became the bride of Alfred O. Assorson with the Rev. M.E. Waldeland officiating at their wedding. They lived on the Assorson homestead northwest of St. Ansgar, and later moved to St. Ansgar. One son, Glenn Marlin, was born to them.

Mrs. Assorson was employed by the St. Ansgar Telephone Company as an operator for 30 years, the last 10 as chief operator. She retired when St. Ansgar converted to the dial system. A member of First Lutheran church here for over 60 years, Mrs. Assorson was active in the Women's Society and Circle of the church. She had been a resident of the Good Samaritan Center here since October 10, 1974.
