SAM STRAND, 81,
BURIED AT MONA
1937

Funeral services were conducted for Sam Strand, 81, at the Mona Lutheran church at two o'clock Monday.

Mr. Strand was born in Wraadad, Telemarken, Norway, in 1856 and in 1861 came to this country with his parents. They made their home in Stoughton, Wis., for five years and then came to Mitchell county where they purchased a farm three miles southeast of Mona. About twenty years ago Mr. Strand moved to Mona and made his home with his brother John. It was a short time ago, that due to ill health, he was taken to a private home at Osage.

He is survived by one brother, John of Mona, and several nieces and nephews.
