December 20, 1856 --- December 20, 1932

Katherine Hausken was born in Karmøy, Haugesund, Norway, Dec. 20th, 1856 and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Albert Craig, near Stanhope, Iowa, Dec. 20th, 1932, age 76 years.

She was baptized into Christ Jesus in infancy, received instruction and confessed her Christian faith. As a young woman she found employment in Haugesund, where she was united in marriage to Thomas Netland. In 1881 the family emigrated to the U.S.A., coming to Sheldahl, Iowa and living there until 1888 when they came to Eagle Grove, where they lived almost continuously since. As Mr. Netland was employed as section foreman by the C. & N. W. R. R. about two years part of the time at Goldfield and part of the time at Thor.

Mr. Netland passed away from this life on September 17, 1925, at Eagle Grove. Mrs. Netland has been in failing health for several years, which condition she endured patiently. Thirteen children were born to them, seven passed away before the mother and six survive: Mrs. Jennie Craig, Stanhope; Ben Netland, Maple Hill; Tandrup Netland, Ft. Dodge; Elmer Netland, Eagle Grove; Myron Netland, Eagle Grove and Mrs. Elida Olson, Eagle Grove. She is also survived by twenty-one grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

Mrs. Netland was a quiet person much attached to her home. She loved her Savior very dearly, and strove earnestly to keep him in spite of the many temptations which come to us here in life.

Funeral services Thursday afternoon, December 22nd, 1932, from the Eagle Grove East Side Lutheran church of which she was a member for more than 40 years. The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in the Rose Hill cemetery.
