Tollef Swelland Passed Away

One more member of the Old People's Home has gone beyond, which makes a total of two during the last two months.

Tollef Swelland was born in April, 1842, and died April 5, 1928, at the age of 86. He entered the Home in 1918, and during his stay he suffered more or less with rheumatism and weakness. He was sick in bed 12 days. We tried to do the best we could for his comfort.

Funeral services were held at the Home Monday at 1 o'clock and at Immanuel church at 2 p.m. Rev. Heimarck officiated. We wish to thank Rev. Heimarck for his message and Miss Henderson, who sang at the church. We extend hearty thanks to all who in one way or the other helped us.
