HILDA NYGAARD DIED LAST NIGHT

Death Comes After an Illness Extending Over Several Weeks

Miss Hilda Nygaard died this morning (Thursday) at 2 o'clock, after an illness which had extended over a period of six months.

Deceased was born in Stavanger, Norway, Oct. 1, 1881, being thus 26 years, 10 months and 27 days at the time of her death. She was 1 1/2 years old when taken to this country by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Nygaard, and had lived in Story City ever since, except of recent years when she held a position as saleslady in Kansas City.

She was confirmed by Rev. Tanner in the St. Petri church from whence the funeral will be held. As we go to press the time of the funeral has not been definitely set.

She leaves a mother, father, three sisters and a brother to mourn her death.
