Huxley Woman Called by Death

Funeral services were held yesterday (Wednesday) for Mrs. N. S. Helland, 85, of Huxley, who passed away Sunday afternoon in the home of her son, Edward Helland, near Cambridge.

A short service was held in her home in Huxley at 1:30 followed by services in the Fjeldberg church. The church organist, Mrs. Orland Fjelland, played several selections softly while the audience was being seated. Mrs. Selmer Westvold sang two selections, "Jesus Savior Pilot Me" and "Store Ve De Slok."

Rev. O. C. Hellekson read the obituary and scripture taken from I Cor. 16:12. Rev. Peder Buland lead the audience in prayer and delivered the sermon, taking his text from St. john 17:5, "Eternal Life."

There were many beautiful floral gifts in charge of Mrs. Paul Lee, Mrs. A. O. Wenos and Mrs. Olem Fjelland. Also there were many gifts to missions, the Children's home in Ames and other worthy organizations.
