Rites for Mrs. P. S. Vig Are Today

Mrs. P. S. Vig, well known in this city, passed away last Sunday at the Blair Hospital at the age of 69 years. She was born in Denmark and came with her parents to this county in 1883. The family settled at Cedar Falls, Iowa.

After completing her education, she taught school for a number of years in Iowa and later took up nursing in the Immanuel Hospital in Chicago. Her health would not permit her to go on with the work and she returned to the teaching profession, teaching for some time in Elk Horn College, Iowa.

She was married on August 6, 1901, to Rv. P. S. Vig, a widower with four young sons. They lived at Elk Horn until 1902 when they moved to Blair, then to Luck, Wisconsin in ? and back to Blair in 1909 where the family has since resided. The husband died on March 21, 1929.

Eight children were born to this union: Eli of Fresno, California; Clemens, Chicago; Einer at home; Clarence, U. S. Navy; Steen, who died in 1929; Arndt, U. S. Navy; Mrs. H. A. Olsen, Racine, Wisconsin; and Victor in the U.S. Navy.

Mrs. Vig’s health failed her about a year ago and she failed steadily and was taken to the Blair Hospital where she died last Sunday.

Of the older children, two sons survive: Soren of Chicago and Bennett of Columbus, Georgia; and four of her sisters: Mesdames N. T. Nielsen, Hans Andersen and Fred Rownd, all of Cedar Falls, Iowa, and Mrs. F. B. Wright, Santa Monica, California.

Funeral rites were held today from the First Lutheran Church with Rev. H. C. Jorgensen officiating.

Thus falls the curtain on a life well spent. She was a good mother, a true Christian and did her part which is all that anyone can do.
