Death of Eva Christensen
The Nels Christensen home on N. Montgomery St. was again saddened by the death of their 6 year old daughter Eva. She died last Wednesday afternoon at about 3:30 p. m. after an illness of about 10 days with some form of Meningitis. She took sick about 3 days after her brother Clarence died; and became worse right along and at last passed away. She was born in Eagle Grove, Aug. 28th, 1908 and died Aug. 5th, age 5 years, 11 months and 5 days. The funeral was held at the home Friday afternoon. Rev. Oakdale preached the funeral sermon. The pallbearers were Joseph and Theodore Howe, Frank Westre and her brother Nellard. The burial was in Rose Hill cemetery, beside her brother Clarence who passed away 2 weeks before.

So now there are,
Two little angels now on high,
They hand in hand together roam.
Two links now bind us to the sky,
Two fingers beckon us to come.
Lord give us strength our loss to bear,
And lead us in the Heavenly way
Oh, may we meet our children there,
In realms of everlasting day.
