CHARLEY CARLSON DIED SUN
DAY MORNING FUNERAL
WEDNESDAY

The community was shocked and saddened Sunday morning when it became known that Charley Carlson had passed away during the night. He had not been well for some time but no one realized that he was so near his journey's end. Saturday, he was about as usual.

Charles Carlson was born at Garner, Iowa, and passed his 67th birthday last August. His parents moved to Mona when he was a year old and Charlie continued to reside there until his death.

He leaves to mourn his sudden passing, a son, and daughter; Mrs Olven Nelson, who has been his housekeeper since the death of his wife in 1938, and a son, Galen of Minneapolis; five brothers, Edwin, Raymond, Gustave, Rudolph and Godfred; one sister, Mrs Nils Anderson.

Mr. Carlson was a good citizen, and splendid neighbor. He served faithfully and well as caretaker of the Mona Lutheran church for 27 years.
