Mrs. Sivert Marvig

Laurence Oline Marvig was born Dec. 26, 1833, near Stavanger, Norway. Her parents were Johannes and Margrethe Naadland.

She was married to Sivert Marvig Sept. 4, 1854, having come to America the same year. Very soon after they settled near Morris, Ill., where they resided until 1904 when they moved to Story City, coming here in time to celebrate their golden wedding.

In 1914 this aged couple celebrated their 60th anniversary and two years later on the 20th of June the husband was taken home.

Mrs. Marvig died Wednesday morning, Dec. 26, six days before her 89th birthday.

She leaves to revere her memory seven children Martin Marvick of Minneapolis, Mrs. Mary Hansen of Buffalo Center, Sam Marvick and Mrs. J. H. Osmon of Morris, Ill., Rev. L. S. Marvick of Black River Falls, Wis., Andrew Marvick of Sisselton, S. D., and Mrs. J. N. Anderson of this place, also 34 grandchildren and 34 great grandchildren.

Funeral services were held at the Immanuel church, of which the deceased was a member, on Friday afternoon, Dec. 28. Rev. Heimarck preached the funeral sermon, using for his text one of her favorite scripture passages, Rev. 2:17.

Rev. Anderson spoke in English on a passage which she had year ago selected as her funeral text, Isaiah 40:1-2, and Rev. Marvick spoke on behalf of the family.

Solos were sung by Mrs. Lester Henderson and Mrs. Lawrence Mathre and the audience sang the hymns which she had requested to be sung.

This pioneer lady was a true Christian and was ready and glad to go to meet her God.
