Hartley Myren
Mr. and Mrs. Halver Myren are called to mourn the loss of their
son Hartley, who passed away on Saturday afternoon at 5:30 at
Decorah hospital. He wa born April 9, 1927, and was nearly one
year old. The little one was taken ill about the middle of
December when pneumonia developed, from which he never fully
recovered. Three weeks ago he suffered another attack and
everything that medical skill or loving hands could do proved of
no avail and the little spirit winged its flight back to God who
gave it. The sympathy of the community is extended to the
bereaved ones. The funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon at
the Lutheran church conducted by Rev. Koren.
