OSAGE, IOWA — Edward Arneson, 80, died at the Mitchell county home Saturday from the infirmities of old age. He lived most of his life in the vicinity of Lyle, Minnesota, and until recent years owned a farm southeast of that place.

Edward was found in his home with his feet frozen about five years ago and had been in poor health and an Osage resident since that time, until he went to the county home 14 months ago.

He leaves a sister, Mrs. J. O. Johnson, Lyle, and a brother, John Arneson, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The body was taken to Lyle, Monday, where services will be held Tuesday afternoon at the Lutheran church. Burial will be in a Lyle cemetery.

EDWARD ARNESON
DIES, COUNTY HOME

Edward Arneson, 80, died at the county home Sunday after an illness of several weeks. He had been cared for there for the past year. Mr. Arneson was born at Lyle, Minnesota, and spent nearly his entire life there. For many years he owned a farm southeast of Lyle, but gave that up when illness and old age prevented his operating it. He never married.

About five years ago Mr. Arneson froze his feet and he moved to Osage after that experience. He was a familiar figure on the street, until he was unable to care for himself and was taken to the county farm.

He is survived by a sister, Mrs. J.O. Johnson of Lyle, and a brother, John Arneson of Minneapolis.

The remains were at the Shelledy funeral home until Tuesday, when they were taken to Lyle for funeral service at the Lutheran church. Burial was in the cemetery there.
