Obituary
(By Rev. T. J. Severtson)

Arne Tveit was born in Norway, Europe August 5, 1882, and died at the hospital at Iowa City, Feb. 8, 1929, age 46 years, six months, and three days.

He came with his parents to the U. S. A. to Etterick, Wis. in 1883, where they lived for six years, coming to Humboldt county, Iowa, to near Thor in 1889. It was there his mother and two sisters, and two brothers passed away, leaving Arne and his father alone.

He was married to Miss Anne Larson in 1907 and farmed in Troy township until a few years ago, when they moved to the present home. Four children were born to this union, Beatrice, Mildred, Arlean, and Leslie. Arlean died June 10, 1928, the three remain and together with Mrs. Tveit mourn the loss of a kind father and husband. He is also survived by his father Lars Tveit of Eagle Grove.

His health began to fail about five years ago. He has sought medical aid very diligently, but it seemed no permanent help could be found for him. During his long sickness though we believe he found the aid of the Savior Christ Jesus. That help shall not fail him.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the home and 2 o'clock from the East Side Lutheran church. Burial was made in the Rose Hill cemetery.
