He seemed well until about three months ago when he was taken sick and gradually grew worse and about seven weeks ago he was taken to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Victor Jorgenson. He was given all the care that loving hands could give him, but the Grim Reaper knocked at the door and he passed away Sunday evening, March 23, at 11 o'clock, from complications following Bright's disease.

He was a good father and husband. He leaves to mourn his loss, a loving wife, eleven children, four grandchildren, two brothers and a host of other relatives and friends.
