Died at Rochester.
Miss Lizzie Enger, sister of L. M. Enger, died last week Tuesday at Rochester, Minn., death following an illness of about twenty-four hours. Miss Enger had been in delicate health for a number of years, but was able to work up to the day before her death, when she became ill suddenly, the cause of death being Bright’s disease.
Miss Enger was born in Eggedal, Norway, March 31, 1866, and came to America at the age of twenty with her mother. Up to 1903 she made her home in Decorah, since which time she has resided in Rochester with a sister, being employed in a camera factory.
The remains were brought to Decorah Wednesday night and the funeral was held Thursday morning Oct. 8th, at ten o’clock, at the home of her brother, Rev. I. B. Torrison officiated and interment was made in the Norwegian cemetery.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows she died Oct. 6, 1914 and is buried in the Lutheran Decorah Cemetery.
