Gustaf Adolph Hultquist

An Old Resident Is Called
Gustaf A. Hultquist Died Sunday Evening Following Illness of Several Years Time.

    Gustaf A. Hultquist, one of the pioneers of this community, passed away Sunday evening at 9:50 o'clock, following an illness of several years' duration. His demise was not unexpected for it had been nearly two years since he was able to be about the house. During his declining days he was tenderly cared for by his devoted wife and children.
    Gustaf Adolph Hultquist was born in Hult Socken, Jonkoping lan, Smalan, Sweden, December 27, 1841. Died at his home in Stanton Iowa, Sept. 28, 1924, at the age of 82 years, 9 months and 1 day. He was married to Clara Gustava Johnson in Sweden November 12, 1864, and had he lived a short while longer would have enjoyed sixty years of wedded bliss. To this union were born eleven children, two of whom died in infancy. Those living and who with the devoted wife mourn his death, are: C. J. Hultquist, Stanton; Anton E. Hultquist, Grant, Nebr.; Mrs. Jas. Nelson, Red Oak; Claus Hultquist, Griswold; Mrs. Wm. Hultquist, McKenna, Wash; Dan Hultquist, Stanton; Oscar Hultquist, Red Oak; Mrs. Harry T. Anderson and Miss Hilda Hultquist, Stanton. Twenty-seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren also survive. Mr. Hultquist came to America with his then small family in 1869, settling first at Rockford, Ill., where he remained for a year. Two years of residence in Burlington and then (1873) they came to this community which had ever remained their home. Twenty-two years ago Mr. Hultquist decided that it was time for him to retire from active duty on the farm and they moved into Stanton. He united with the Lutheran church here shortly after his arrival and had ever remained a faithful member and consistent attendant. As a neighbor and friend everyone always spoke highly of Mr. Hultquist and it was from him that the writer learned of the many hardships the pioneers of this community were forced to undergo during the early days.

     Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon. Short services were held at the home at 2 o'clock and at the Lutheran church at 2:30. Rev. J. T. Kraft was in charge and spoke words of comfort to the bereaved family. A very large number of friends were present to pay their respect to their departed friend. Interment was made in Mamrelund cemetery. The pall bearers were grandsons of Mr. Hultquist and were: Eldor Hultquist, Glendon Hultquist, Clarence Hultquist, N. O. Wigstone, Henry Nelson, Sig. Nylander, Wallace Swanson, and George Mainquist.
   The out-of-town relatives who were in attendance at the funeral were: A. E. Hultquist, Grant, Nebr.; Claus Hultquist and sons, Clarence and Carl, Griswold; Mrs. Hattie C. Nelson and son, Henry E., Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Alma Johnson, Burlington; and Miss Elsa Odman, Omaha, Nebr.
