Our community was saddened on Friday morning to hear of the death of John Anedrson{sic} at the Mercy hospital, where he was taken for treatment on Monday last. In haying he fell from a stack and was hurt but it was not thought he was seriously hurt until last week when he was taken worse and was taken to Mercy hospital, where he died on Friday morning. John was one of the best young men and his host of friends deeply sympathize with his mother, brothers and sister in this great bereavement. The funeral was held at three o’clock on Sunday afternoon at the Fremont Norwegian Lutheran church of which he was a faithful member.
