The death of Ole Andersen’s wife last Wednesday night, was a severe shock to her many friends and relatives living hereabouts. She was apparently in her usual health at suppertime, but about 7 o’clock she began to have pains in the chest and at 11 she was dead. Heart disease was the cause. She leaves a husband and three children, one a girl of 17 years. The funeral took place Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock.
