From Nevada Representative December 8, 1886

Sheldahl.

....The funeral services of the wife of R. Hetlesater* took place at the Norwegian Church on Monday, Nov. 29th under the directions of Rev. Holm. This is a sad affliction for Mr. Hetlesater, leaving him so early in life without a companion, and his two small children without a mother. He has the sympathy of the entire community in his bereavement....

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: Reinert Hettlesater is listed in the 1885 Iowa Census in Sheldahl with his wife, "Bronla", age 21 at that time. I am assuming this is the family referenced. They had two small children, Olaf and Aagaat aged 1 and 0 respectively.
