Mrs. Carlson was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church in Sweden and became a member of Bethel on arrival here.

She was a faithful supporter of the Ladies Aid and a Charter member of the W. M. S.

Mrs. Carlson was the youngest of a family of six children and the last from this land to the "land that is fairer than day". She has been in failing health the past few years and passed away Thursday morning 16 Sept 1943 at the age of 85 years, 9 months and 2 days.
