DEATH CLAIMS MRS. SARAH MICKELSON

Answered the Summons Wednesday evening the 20th. Reached an age of 80 years.

Mrs. Sarah Mickelson, whose serious illness was mentioned in these columns last week, passed away last Wednesday morning. She had been very low for several days and her death had been anticipated. Funeral took place Saturday afternoon from her late home and the Lincoln church, her pastor, Rev. Wee, having charge of the funeral services.

Deceased attained an age of eighty years. She was a native of Norway but had spent the major part of her life in the country, having made her home on the old Mickelson homestead east of town till a few years ago when she sold the farm and moved to town. Her late illness dated back several months when she commenced to fail. To near neighbors she early expressed the belief that she would not recover and lived in happy anticipation of the summons to be called to Great Beyond.

Deceased is mourned by six sons. They are Henry, Mathias, Halvor, Severt, Michael and Jacob. Her husband died 28 years ago.
