Torrison occurred twenty-four years ago at the Washington Prairie church. The past ten years of their live{s} have been spent in Decorah and it has been a life of devotion to each other and to the cause in which they labored. Those who came close to Mrs. Torrison learned to know the kindness of heart and sympathy that were characteristic of her daily life.
