A sad message from Madison, S. D., came to relatives in Glenwood yesterday that Mrs. Julius Wesby had died Sunday morning, the disease being lung fever. This young woman was born and grew up in Winneshiek county. Her maiden name was Sophie Nilselokken. She was married to Mr. Westby about four years ago, and moved out to So. Dakota, where they have been engaged in farming since. Our sympathies go out to the bereaved ones.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows she was born April 18, 1877 and died April 16, 1911. She is buried in the Lake Park Cemetery in Wentworth, SD.
