OCTOGENRIAN PASSES AWAY

Andrew Espeland died Saturday morning at the home of his daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Iver Gjerde, north of town. Mr. Espeland had been in good health, considering his advance age, up until a couple weeks ago when he was taken sick and since that time has been gradually failing until Saturday when he passed to the Great Beyond. He was 82 years of age at his time of death.

Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon from Salems church, Rev. J. N. Sandven officiating.
