Mrs. Jorgen Anderson passed away Thursday at the Iowa Sanitarium. She was just 71 years of age and leaves besides her husband two sons, A. T.

Johnson both of Nevada, a sister, Mrs. Carrie Nelson, two brothers, Andrew Larson of Colo and Rasmus Larson of Nevada, 15 grandchildren and three great grand children. The deceased was a native of Denmark but had lived in this vicinity for forty years having moved to Nevada eleven years ago. A granddaughter, now Mrs. Sorenson was brought up by her grandparents mainly and lived in their home until her marriage. Mrs. Anderson was a quiet home loving woman, faithful to her family and friends. She had never learned to speak English but attended the Lutheran church regular and no doubt understood much of the service.
