MRS. HENRY BREDESON DEAD.


The community was shocked Saturday afternoon to learn of the death at two o'clock that afternoon, of Mrs. Henry Bredeson during child birth, affected by kidney trouble. The case is doubly sad in that six children are left motherless, one being the new born babe, which survived its twin brother.


The children are Margaret, who graduated from the high school this last June and is engaged to teach a school at Tioga this coming fall. Olga, Hulda, Arthur, Jennie and the the baby, Ina. These and the stricken father have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in this sudden and severe loss.


Deceased was Annie Anderson and was born near Christina, Norway, thirty-seven years ago last September. In 1885 she was married to Henry Bredeson, they coming to this country two years later, settling at Withee. Four years ago the family moved to Greenwood where they have since resided on their place just on the western city limits. During these few years deceased and the family have made many friends, though she was not able to be out much in public. Religiously Mrs. Bredeson was a Lutheran, but here she affiliated with the Presbyterians, the funeral being held from that church at two o'clock Monday afternoon, Rev. W. T. Hendren officiating.


The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens by the ladies and members of the Sunday school.


The pall bearers were Julius Sorenson, Anton Bredeson, Morris Anderson, G. W. Bishop, Anton Kristiansen and Babb Syth. Interment took place in the Greenwood cemetery.
