After months of suffering, Mrs. Anna McDougall passed peacefully away
Monday morning at an early hour. A week before her death she sank into a
stupor from which she did not regain consciousness. She was 85 years old.
She was a devoted wife-her husband passed on some years ago-and a loving
tender mother striving earnestly to train her sons and daughters for useful
men and women. She is survived by three sons and two daughters, namely:
Alex, James and John, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Edwards. The latter has made her
home with the deceased and tenderly cared for her the past few years. She
was a dearly loved member of the M E church and was liberal in its support.
She has fallen asleep to awake in the land of eternal bliss. Everything was
done to make her declining days comfortable as possible. Grandma was
certainly a useful member of the community. She with her husband passed
through the pioneer days and homesteaded the farm on which she spent her
last days. The funeral services were conducted in the M E church of Struble,
which was beautifully decorated with flowers. The remains were laid to rest
in LeMars by the side of her husband and daughter, Mrs Craig, who preceded
her some years ago. The family have the sympathy of a large number of kind
friends and neighbors in their bereavement.

DEATH OF GUS. OSTROM
Pioneer Citizen Succumbs to Long and Painful Illness
Gus. Ostrom, one of the pioneer and best known residents of Plymouth County,
died at the city hospital at about midnight Saturday. Mr. Ostrom had been in
poor health for more than a year before he died. He was operated on for an
internal trouble from which he recovered. Last winter he went to California
for his health and struck a bad winter there, suffering from cold succeeded
by a severe attack of pleurisy, which ultimately developed into chronic lung
trouble, which with other complications caused his death.
Mr. Ostrom suffered much in his last illness, but bore the pain with
fortitude and patience and never complained. His last days on earth were
brightened by relatives and many friends who did their best to alleviate his
sufferings and distract his mind from his illness.
Gustavus Ostrom was a native of Sweden, where he was born in Wexio on
December 24, 1844. He spent his boyhood and youth in his native land but
early in life started out for the new land in the western hemisphere, coming
to Chicago in 1869. In 1871 he came to Plymouth County and homesteaded land
in Grant township where he lived for a number of years and then came to
LeMars which has been his home since. Mr. Ostrom never married and his only
relatives in this part of the world are his brother, John Ostrom, and his
nephew, Ernest Ostrom, of Westfield township. The deceased was a member of
LeMars lodge No. 235 I.O.O.F. and also of LeMars Encampment No. 116 and of
Canton Logan No. 38.
The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o’clock at the First
Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member, and the interment made in the
City Cemetery.
Gus. Ostrom had a wide acquaintance and was almost universally well liked.
He was essentially a square man, upright and honorable in all his business
and social dealing with his fellow men. He was a gentle and unassuming
disposition. His ways were gentle as a woman’s. His heart was full of
charity and kindness. A friend on hearing of his death, paid a true deed of
tribute to his memory in saying that if more men were like Gus. Ostrom the
world would be a better place.
His death is sincerely regretted by a large circle of friends who hold he
did not live in vain.
