A Double Drowning.
St. Ansgar, July 19.—Two sons of Mr. and Mrs. Knud Lundo, aged respectively 19 and 21 years, who were residing with their parents in the southern part of the county, were drowned while bathing in Rock Creek yesterday afternoon. It appears that the boys were good swimmers, but that they got into the stream at a point where there was a strong undercurrent. They were highly respected young men and their untimely death is deeply mourned by their relatives and a large circle of personal friends. The funeral was held to-day at the Meroa church.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows they were Hendrick and Orenton Lundene and are buried in the Rock Creek Cemetery. Hendrick was born July 2, 1874 and Orenton was born May 25, 1876.
