Mrs. Tollef O. Thompson died on January 14, 1923, at the home of her son, Carl, at Radcliffe. The cause of her death was leakage of the heart and had been suffering and very low for a few weeks before she passed away.

She also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Andrew Askeland of Britton, S. D., Mrs. H. J. Prescott and Mrs. Olous Male of this place and two brothers, Henry and Eddie of Nevis, Minn. Her husband died several years ago while they were living here. Mrs. Thompson was a kind, loving and devoted mother and always with a kind deed at heart for children, friends and neighbors.
