THE OBITUARY OF MISS GURI LEE
Guri Lee, popularly known as Julie Lee, was born January 1, 1860, at the Lee Homestead, about six miles northwest of St. Ansgar, of the parents Ole K. Lee and Kari N. Lee.
She was baptized by Rev. C. L. Clausen March 3, 1860, at the church at St. Ansgar, and confirmed in the same church on October 4, 1874.
Miss Lee has lived on the Lee Homestead her entire life with the exception of a year spent at Carpenter.
About twenty-five years ago Miss Lee suffered an attack of stomach trouble for which she underwent an operation at Dubuque, Iowa.
After this time she suffered considerable, off and on, because of adhesions. The condition grew worse after an attack of the flu last winter.
About two weeks ago she slipped and fell in the cellar stairs and she suffered some contussions as a result of the fall.
Her old trouble reappeared and it was found necessary, in an attempt to save her life, to take her to Hampton, Iowa, for an operation.
The operation showed a severe condition of strangulation and adhesions.
The operation was successfully completed but Julia was unable to rally after the ordeal and finally slept peacefully away early Monday evening, June 21st.
Her sister, Carrie Lee, was at her bedside at the time.
Julia often wished the word of God read to her at the hospital, having for a long time been a constant reader of God's word.
Her sister also repeated for her several of her favorite hymns.
At times Julia would repeat Bible passages and hymns aloud and showed plainly that she remembered them word for word and loved the Heavenly message they brought her.
She repeatedly expressed her firm faith in Christ, her Savior, her joy in the forgiveness of sin, and her desire to depart and be with Christ.
All this and much more of the same Christian faith and conviction she also expressed on several occasions to her pastor, Rev. Waldeland, during his visits at her bedside during her last illness and while sick last winter.
Even before going to Hampton she spoke to her reative, Miss Myrtle Lee, about arrangements for her funeral and said that she liked to think about Myrtle joining in the singing of hymns she had selected for that occasion.
At Hampston, on Monday, Julie made up with her sister the entire program for this funeral. She designated the hymns she had selected to be sung here today, indicated the text she had chosen for her pastor's serman, and in general expressed her desires as to the whole event.
She remembered those at whose baptism she had been a witness and showed her concern for their eternal happiness and salvation, as she also admonished and encouragd her near and dear ones as to their religion and spiritual life.
Towards evening on Monday she grew considerably weaker and after five o'clock she spoke no more. The end came at about 8:30.
She leaves to mourn her departure her sister, Carrie, and Myrtle Lee, a cousin, who had made her home with them since she was a small girl.
The funeral was conducted at the N. Lutheran church, St. Ansgar, Iowa. Rev. M.E. Waldeland officiating, Friday afternoon, June 25th, and the remains were laid to rest in the St. Ansgar N.L. cemetery.
