Lars Sogge was born in Surendalen, Norway, and reached an age of about 36 years, at the time of his sudden and untimely death. He came to America 8 years ago thru the help of Bastian Nelson, who will be remembered being in this vicinity for quite a number of years. Mr. Sogge thus far had not taken out any citizen papers. He made his home chiefly in this vicinity with the exception of about one year that he was in N. Dak. The only relatives he had in America is an aunt in Wisconsin. A cousin to Lars from that family was here at the funeral. He was a quiet unasuming man of good habits and one would know that he was around only by seeing him. The remains are laid to rest in Liberty Cemetery northwest of town.
