BUSINESS MAN DIED LAST NIGHT

HENRY CHRISTOPHERSON VICTIM OF HEART ATTACK FRIDAY NIGHT

Roland, Feb. 8--Henry Christopherson, 41, for a number of years a well know motor car distributor of this place, died at his home here at 11 p. m., Friday, from a heart attack, following apparent recovery from a spell of the flu. The death came as a surprise and distinct shock to members of the family and community.

While funeral arrangements are dependent upon word from a brother in Washington, it is probable that the services will be held Tuesday, at Salem Lutheran church, with Rev. Holen in charge and interment will be in the Roland cemetery.

Henry Christopherson, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Christopherson, was born here and had lived in the community all of his life. For several years he had been local manager for the Mathison Motor company.

He leaves besides his wife and son Paul, age 11; his father Ole Christopherson; two brothers, Lewis of Yakima, Wash., and Alfred of Story City; and four sisters. The sisters are Mrs. Tom Valem of Webster City, Mrs. Marie Heney of Independence, Mrs. Cecil Oswood of Hansell and Mrs. Melvin Winter of Storm Lake.

The mother, two brothers and one sister are dead.
