Mrs. Skogerboe Died At Old People's Home

Special to the Journal.
Roland, April 29--Mrs. R. Skogerboe, old time resident of Roland and mother of J. T. Gaard of this place passed away at the Old People's Home at Story City Sunday night following a brief illness of pneumonia. Mrs. Skogerboe sold her home here, several years ago and took up her abode at the Home at Story City, and has lived there since. During her stay there she has made frequent visits to her old friends and neighbors, which is quite remarkable considering her advance age. Funeral services will be conducted at Salem church by Rev. Olaf Holen, probably on Wednesday, but no definite arrangements have been made at this writing.

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: Gurine married (1) Andrew O. Gaard some time before 1880 probably in Norway as her son, Joseph Thorval Gaard, was born that year in Norway. She married (2) Rier Skogerboe on 31 May 1906 in Story City, Story County, Iowa. Her marriage record lists her parents as Kjlisan Olson and Martha Torbjornsdatter.
