Mrs. P. P. Blackstad died at 2 o’clock Friday morning, after a short illness, at the residence of her mother, Mrs. A. Erickson west of town, from consumption.

She was born and raised in Newburg Township and was a young lady highly respected by all. She was married about one year ago to peter P. Blackstad. A daughter was bor them two weeks ago and the results of that birth seems to have hastened the lady’s death.

The family has the sympathy of all in this their hour of poignant grief.

The funeral services were held at the Norwegian Lutheran Church Sunday and were largely attended.
