Story City Herald: ....Tom Ersland was born in Ersland, Norway, 1862 and died at his home west of town Thursday Sept. 25, 1902, aged 40 years and 8 months. He was sick only a few days when the death angel claimed another victim of the seemingly prevalent disease, appendicitis. A widow and three children are left to mourn his loss.
