Funeral services were held at Rolfe, Iowa on Saturday for Mrs. Andrew Wold, former St. Ansgar resident. Pastor Fred Jacobson officiated and the Reverend Olaf A. Langehough officiated at the services for Mrs. Wold at the First Lutheran Church here on Monday afternoon.

Margaret Brevick Wold, daughter of Halvor and Ingeborg Brevick, was born July 17, 1877 at Nummedal, Norway and here she was baptized at an early age. At the age of three and one-half years she came to America with her parents, settling in Clayton County, Iowa. On August 17, 1890 she was confirmed at St. Olaf, Iowa by the Reverend O. Waldeland.

On July 9, 1901 she was married to Andrew Wold at the Marion Lutheran Church, Gunder, Iowa. To this union two sons were born.

In 1903 the family moved to Velva, North Dakota, remaining there until 1920 when they came to St. Ansgar. Shortly after establishing residence in St. Ansgar they became members of the First Lutheran congregation. In 1942 Mr. and Mrs. Wold moved to Rolfe which has since been their home.

Mrs. Wold passed away last Thursday morning, May 3, 1951 after an illness of more than a year.

She is survived by her husband and two sons, Waldo of St. Ansgar and Arnold of Rolfe, a brother, Christ Halvorson of Lake Mills and two grandchildren, Richard and Karen Wold of St. Ansgar.
