Nels P. Borsheim

Died: At the residence of his parents in Rock Township, February 4, 1887, Nels P. BORSHEIM, aged about 28 years.

The subject of this sketch was a young man highly respected by all his acquaintances. Of his early history we are unable at this writing to learn anything. Four years ago this coming spring he associated himself with R. HELFRITZ in the drug and grocery business at this place, and the partnership continued for about one year, when he disposed of his interest to his partner, Mr. Helfritz.

When the creamery association was organized Mr. Borshiem was the heaviest stock holder and was for some time President of the Board of Directors.

Since leaving St. Ansgar he has been stopping at different places and prior to his fatal sickness was in the employ of Cornish & Co., Osage. He was a young man of good habits, honest, industrious, of a cheerful disposition, and a person who made friends wherever he went.

He was taken sick during the early part of January, with typhoid fever, and although at times his condition was critical, no fears were entertained but what he would recover.

The funeral services were held at the Norwegian Lutheran Church yesterday afternoon and were largely attended. By his death his parents lose a dutiful son, and the community in which he resided an honorable and respected citizen.

[ From the St. Ansgar Enterprise, 9 Feb 1887 ]
