In 1889 Mr. and Mrs. Bagstad bought a farm in Marshall Township, and they remained in that locality for several years until 1904 when they moved to Adams, Minn.

In 1922 they moved to Lyle where they have since lived.

Mrs. Bagstad was called home to be with her Savior Monday evening Oct. 13th, after a lingering illness.

Surviving is her husband, Theo Bagstad, and an adopted daughter, Mrs. Baltzell, a sister, Mrs. Hendrick of Minneapolis, a number of nephews and nieces, and a host of friends.

Blessed be the memory of Mrs. Theo. Bagstad.
