Word was received yesterday morning of the death of Mrs. John Folkedahl, formerly a resident of Highland township, at the county farm. The deceased was for many years an inmate of the hospital for the insane at Independence, but was removed to the county farm during the past year. She is survived by a son Knute and a brother Lars Bjorgo. Although her demise will be mourned by all who knew her, death came to her as a release from the mental bondage under which she has existed for many years and was for her a transmission from darkness to light. The remains will be brought to Big Canoe church for interment. The funeral services will be held to-morrow at 11:00 a. m., Rev. Seehuus officiating. The sympathy of the community is with the bereaved ones.
