Mrs. Bertha Nelson Knutson was born in Freeborn County, Minnesota, on January 16, 1860, and moved to Mower County, Minnesota, with her parents, when a small child. She was baptized and confirmed in the Red Oak Grove Lutheran Church.
September 20, 1884, she was united in marriage with Henry Knutson, by the Rev. Strand and moved to Mitchell County, Iowa, where she and her husband made their home on the old Knutson farm near St. Ansgar, until the time of Mr. Knutson's death on March 20, 1918.
To this union was born four children; Sophia, now Mrs. J.A. Robertson, of Minneapolis; Otto, Nellie and John of St. Ansgar.
Shortly after the death of her husband, Mrs. Knutson moved to St. Ansgar, where she lived until her death on July 22, 1929. She attained the age of 69 years, 6 months and 6 days.
She had an operation two years ago and since that has gradually failed in health. She was very patient in her suffering.
