Mrs. Anderson, wife of H. C. Anderson, of Fredonia township, a lifelong resident of Plymouth county, died at her home on Monday evening at seven o’clock, from hemorrhage of the stomach, aged 41 years. Mrs. Anderson had been in indifferent health for several years, but it was not thought that her condition was imminently serious. She had been suffering from stomach trouble and on Saturday was seized with hemorrhages which proved fatal.

Mrs. Anderson was born in Marion township and lived in this county all her life. Her maiden name was Lena Miller, and she was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. N. Miller, pioneer residents of this section. She attended school and grew to womanhood in Marion township and after completing her education taught school with success for a number of years until her marriage. She was united in marriage with H. C. Anderson in 1898. They lived for a number of years after their marriage on the Draper farm in Union township and on the home place in Marion and then bought land in Fredonia township where they made their home of late years. Two daughters, Eva and Irma, with the bereaved husband, mourn her death.

She is also survived by three sisters and a brother; who are, Mrs. F.H. Bergner, of Remsn, Mrs. Nels Hendricksen, of Kildare, Oklahoma, Nelson Miller, of Le Mars, and Miss Anna Miller, who is a missionary in Bidar, India.

Funeral services were held at the residence in Fredonia township on Thursday morning, Rev. Soe, of Marcus, and Rev. H. V. Comin, of Le Mars, conducting the services, and the interment made in Le Mars in the city cemetery where her mother is buried.

Mrs. Anderson was a good Christian woman, a loving wife and mother and was held in high esteem in the community where she spent her entire life. She was a consistent member of the Danish Lutheran church and was active in church and social work. She was also an honored member of the Fredonia grange.
