The remains of the late Hans C. Anderson were brought to Lyle Friday morning from Alstead, New Hampshire, where he passed away Nov. 21st. He was one of the pioneer settlers of this county and was first and foremost in many of the struggles that made this county what it is today. His name was a household word in every home in this vicinity. His bright intellect, kindly disposition and fearless expression of opinion stamped him as a good neighbor and friend to all who had any dealings with him.

The deceased was born in Molands' Prestegjeld, Telemarken, Norway in October 1858. When 12 years of age he, with the family, came to America and settled in this vicinity where he has since made his home.

He leaves three sisters, Mrs. K. Olson, Mrs. T. Anderson, Mrs. O. Asmundson; and four brothers, Ole, Tollef, John and Jaran.

Knute K. Dyrland, well known in this place, died very suddenly at Austin last Friday morning. The Daily Herald says: He had not been feeling very well for a couple days but went to work as usual, but feeling worse secured a room near by and was helped to bed. After a while he fell asleep and friends who had helped him to the room left. Later when they stepped in he was "dead." The deceased was in the saloon business at Dodge Center where he resided but in the spring election Dodge Center voted dry and since then he was out of employment.

Life- Funeral
Saturday

Mrs. O T Richardson Died

The Same Pall Bearers That Carried Her
Husband to His Last Resting Place
Last December.

Weep not, that her toils are over,
Weep not that her race is run.
God grant, we may rest as calmly
When our work, like hers, is done.
Till then, we yield with gladness,
Our mother, to Him, to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giveth His loved one sleep.

Old Settlers
Passed Away

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is to the goal;
"Dust thou art, to dust returnerth,"
Was not spoken of the soul.

The harvest is past and the summer is ended, and the golden sheaves are being gathered into the garner, so likewise the great reaper has been in our midst, calling home some of our citizens that have passed the three score and ten mile post.

When she was first taken ill she commenced to doctor, visiting most of the specialists in Minnesota and Iowa but no relief and no hope was given her, and she soon resigned herself to meet death. About nine months ago she was taken to the hospital where she remained until death.
