The Late Mrs. J. A. Johnson

-$» LOCAL AND PERSONAL iV*

Mrs. Johnson was a devout member of the Swedish Lutheran church. She was a member of the Tripolis church while residing in Kandiyohi and of the Bethel church since coming to Will-mar. She was active in church work and always tried to live up to her Christian beliefs. Hers was the beau-titul death of a Christian whose faith is unshaken. Shortly before her death she was heard to repeat the 2'5th verse of the 73rd psalm: "Whom have I in Heaven but Thee, and there is none on earth that I desire beside Thee." Rev. Jesper Holmquist, the pastor, used this as a text for his ser­mon in Swedish at the funeral service, speaking in English on John 14:6. Mrs. Johnson's favorite hymn was "Safe in the Arms of Jesus."

She leaves to mourn her departure, the husband, John A. Johnson, and six children—Edward E. Johnson, Mrs. Minnie Karlson and Miss Lydia John­son of Willmar, Mrs. Emma Gulbrand-son and Mrs. Esther Wood of Minne­apolis and Mrs. Amanda Johnson of St. Paul, all of whom were present at their mother's death and funeral. She i s also mourned by a sister, Mrs. Min­nie Peterson of Paxton, 111.

The funeral occurred Sunday after­noon. Brief services were held at the residence by the pastor. Samuel Nel­son sang a solo and Mesdames An­drew Hanson and Eben Lawson a duet. At the Bethel church duets were sung by Mrs. Paul Hedin and Miss Minnie Fridlund, Mr. and Mrs. Eben. E. Law-son and a solo by Samuel Nelson. A profusion of flowers filled the chan­cel and a large number of friends pass­ed the casket. The cortege of cars proceeded to the Tripolis churchyard, where Rev. Holmquist was assisted by Rev. Hj. Tillman at the last sad rites. The pall bearers were Messrs. Erick Ohsberg, August Lundquist, Charles Chellberg, Charles Johnson,- Victor E. and Eben~E. Lawson.

Those from a distance in attendance were -Messrs. C. A. Oulbrandsbn and B. K. Wood, M.r. and Mrs. Ludvig John son and Mr. and Mrs. A. Johnson of Minneapolis, Dr. O. J. Johnson of St. Paul, and others.

when he set out again for the United States. He settled in Rockford, 111., for some time and then moved to the state of Iowa. Leaving Iowa he made his way to Minnesota and made his first home in this state at Olivia where he owned and operated a store. In 1878 he came to our county and located on a farm in Whitefield township. This township became his home irom that date until some eight years' ago when he and b i s wife retired to live in the city of Willmar.

Mr. Freeberg took an active part in the development of his community and county. He served Whitefield township as- chairman of supervisors, as assessor for many terms and in oth­er capacities. He was one of the or­ganizers of the co operative creamery, was clerk of the school district No. 55, and was identified with most pub­lic enterprises of the community. He was interested in public aftairs and voiced his opinions very freely. He served one year as president of the Kandiyohi County Old Settlers asso­ciation.

On October 3, 1880, he wedded Ma­thilda Johnson, who now survives her departed lifemate. To this union six children were born, three of these hav­ing preceeded him. These were John who died in infancy, Minnie who pass­ed away in 1901 at the age of 18 years and Adena who died in 18&5 at the age of two years. The three living chil­dren are Albin and Algot who are run­ning the farm in Whitefield and Alma,' (Mrs. Oscar Franzen) of Kandiyohi village. All ot. these were in attend­ance at the funeral.

The parents of the deceased were Mr. and Mrs. Johan Fredrick Skon. A half brother and a half sister reside in Sweden. There are two s is ters in this country: Mrs. Mathilda Larson of Ocean, Iowa, and Mrs. Ole Rasmusson of Whitefield. '

'Death came to the departed on Sat­urday,,July 22nd. Cause of death was a complication of ailments resulting in the weakening of the heart and its final iai lure to function. He was ill about three months and in bed but a week. .
