Mrs. Gus Carlson received a message on Saturday telling of the death of her sister, Mrs. Anton Tronsen, who passed away that day at her home in Pasadena, Calif. The deceased, Paulina Schafersman Tronsen, was born at Fontanelle Nov. 3, 1873 and until 1906, when she moved to Arlington, spent practically all her life in that vicinity. She resided here until 1916 when she went to Calif. to make her home. On Nov. 3, 1921 she was united in marriage to Anton Tronsen at Santa Anna and since then lived at Pasadena. In May Mrs. Tronsen underwent a serious operation, and she never recovered from its effects. Two nieces, Misses Mildred and Florence Carlson of this place have been at her bedside for the past few months. Surviving her besides her husband, are her sister, Mrs. Gus Carlson of this place, Ed Schafersman of Lincoln. Mrs. Carlson received no word of the funeral arrangements.

Note: The Vig Files at the Danish American Archives records her parents as Gotlieb and Johanna Schafersman.
