Memorial to
Brother John O. Myhre.
It is with deepest sorrow we record the death of Bro. John O. Myhre, as master Masons and members of Alma Lodge we sincerely mourn his loss, bearing in tender remembrance his fidelity to masonry and his devotion to the principles it inculcates, we earnestly sympathize with the relatives and friends of our deceased Brother and tender them that consolation which the world can neither give nor take away.
Bro. John O. Myhre was born in Norway, on March 13, 1843. He came to this country in 1861 and located in Clinton Junction, Wisconsin, where he remained for four years. He left Clinton Junction in January 1865 and came to Decorah, Iowa. He lived in Decorah until 1870 when he came to Lyle, Minnesota, where he engaged in business as a clerk in the store of Chas. Cole of which in a few years he became sole proprietor. For thirty years he has been actively interested in the business interests and growth of Lyle. He was married march 16, 1871 to Miss Annie Kittleson who survives him. Three children blessed their union: Oliver, Theodora and Theodore.
He was made a Master Mason on April 21, 1889, and was shortly afterwards elected treasurer of Alma Lodge, which office he held to the hour of his death. He was also a member of the Chapter, Commandery and Mystic Shrine. A host of brothers and friends mourn his death.
Fast as the rolling seasons bring
The hour of fate to those we love,
Each pearl that leaves th ebrotken string
Is set in friendships crown above.
Resolved that a copy of this memorial be presented to the relatives of the deceased and that the same be published in the Lyle Tribune.
Per order of committee
