March 1850 --- June 8, 1902

Mrs. L. L. Knudson passed away after a brief illness at her home in Norway township, June 8, 1902. Deceased maiden name was Anna Peterson and was born in Stavanger, Norway, fifty-two years ago and came to this country in early girlhood, locating in Fayette county, Iowa. Shortly after her arrival in the above named place she was united in marriage to L. L. Knudson in 1875, and after a short stay in Fayette county, they removed to Norway township, Humboldt county, where she resided until summoned to her eternal reward. Altho slightly indisposed, not one of her family or her many friends and acquaintances had the slightest thought that the Angel of Death was about to enter and summon a kind mother and a good neighbor to a better land. In her demise her friends, as well as her family, sustain a deep loss, for she possessed all the traits and virtues that make the true woman. The entire family, consisting of her husband, four sons and three daughters, was present to see their beloved wife and mother laid to rest. The funeral cortege was very large from town and neighboring localities were well represented. The pallbearers were John Johnson, C. Young, H. Derschied, Neil Hanson, A. A. Nervig, T. Coltvet. The services were conducted by Rev. Sletton, of Eagle Grove, at the house at three o'clock. Interment was in Rose Hill cemetery.
