Carl J. Carlberg

Carl J. Carlberg was born October 16th, 1848 in Sweden. He came to this country with his wife and their first child in 1880, locating on the old home place in Washington County, north of Arlington, and having spent all the rest of his life in this community, for the last fifteen years in Arlington.

He quietly and suddenly passed away Thursday noon, December 4th, 1924, leaving to mourn his loss his widow and three children, Carl J. Jr., who lives on the home place, Mrs. Alva Hugelman, of Nickerson and Mrs. Alice Imes, of Kimball.

Besides these he is survived by four brothers and one sister.

The funeral services were held from his home in Arlington, Sunday afternoon, Rev. F. Williams conducting the same, and sweet songs being sung by members of the choir. Interment followed in the Arlington Cemetery, the local lodge of the I.O.O.F. of which Mr. Carlberg was a member, having charge of the ceremonies at the grave side.

Mr. Carlberg was of a most unassuming, quiet, helpful character, and was greatly respected by his brethren of the I.O.O.F. order, and indeed by all who had known him for so many years.

The deepest sympathy of the entire community is with Mrs. Carlberg and the family in their loss and grief.
