OBITUARY

The leaves are falling rapidly of late, and many of the early settlers are passing on. Week after week the Tribune chronicles the calls of our departing townsmen and neighbors. This week it is Wm. Swenson, who passed away after an illness of only six days. He was one of the pioneers and had the true pioneer spirit. His rugged constitution carried him through the many hard ups and ills of life, and he lived past the allotted time of man. He was always active and busy, and concerned with the affairs of the town and community.
