DEATH CLAIMS
J.J. ANDERSON

PASSED AWAY EARLY TODAY AT
HIS HOME IN HAWARDEN

Was 78 Years Old and Lived in This
Community Many Years.—Leaves
Wife and Two Children

J. J. Anderson, a long time resident
of Hawarden, passed away at his home
shortly 'before 5 o'clock this morning
following a lingering illness of 28
months' duration. Over two years ago
Mr. Anderson was stricken with a
blood clot and he grew weaker gradually
since that time and for the past
eight months he has been practically
bedfast.

Funeral services will be held at 4
o'clock Friday afternoon at the Barnard
Funeral Home with Rev. T. H.
Harding, pastor of the Associated
church in charge. Burial will be in
Grace Hill cemetery.

John J. Anderson was born in
Sweden June 1, 1861, and so was past
78 years of age at the time of his
passing. For many years he was en-
gaged in farming near Merrill and
later the family moved to this vicinity.

Later he engaged in carpenter work
and 20 years ago he built the home
that he and his family have occupied
during the intervening years. He is
survived by his wife and two children,
Mrs. Irene Torwelle of Hawarden and
Neal Anderson of Watertown, S. D.
There are three grandchildren. Mrs.
Anderson is ill at the present, suffering
from heart trouble, and will be
confined to her bed for at least six
weeks. The strain on her during her
husband's long illness through which
she cared for him until last week when
she suffered a heart attack, was too
strenuous and she collapsed.
