OBITUARY OF KARI NELSON LEE
Kari Nelson Lee, daughter of Howard and Kari Nelson Opdahl, was born at Vang, Valders, Norway, January 8, 1824. She was baptized and confirmed in her home parish of the Lutheran Church of Norway.
She came to America in the early fifties and like a large number of the other early settlers, she stayed for some time in the settlements of southern Wisconsin.
On June 27, 1857, she was married to Ole K. Lee, who preceded her in death on May 8, 1891.
Their marriage was blessed with five children, two boys and three girls. Knud and Bertha Lee both died in 1885. The second son, Ole, died October 10, 1888, leaving two daughters, Carrie Lee and Julia Lee, to mourn the loss of their aged mother, who died of heart disease and pneumonia January 2, 1922.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. Waldeland. Short services were held at the home and at the St. Ansgar and Deer Creek Lutheran Churches. She was laid to rest at the Evergreen Lutheran Cemetery at St. Ansgar on Thursday, January 5th. Had she lived until January 8th, she would have filled her ninety-eighth year of life.
Present at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. C.S. Orwoll of Minneapolis. Mrs. Orwoll is a niece of the deceased.
