Mrs. J. C. Paulson Gone

Mrs. J. C. Paulson, who has been in poor health since early last spring passed away at the Blair hospital on Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 10:15 A.M.

Miss Anna Carlson Hansen was born Oct. 26, 1861 in Denmark, where she resided until she was twenty-seven years old, when she came to America.

She was married to Mr. J. C. Paulson at Avoca, Iowa, Febr. 25, 1891 and to them two children were born, Hans, now twenty-five years of age and Marie, twenty years of age.

The family moved to Washington County in March, 1911, moving on to the old Donnelly farm at DeSoto which Mr. Paulson had purchased and where they have since made their home.

Mrs. Paulson was taken to the hospital on Tuesday evening of October 25 and underwent an operation on the following day for rupture. For a time she rallied and apparently was on the road to recovery but took suddenly worse at the last and passed away on last Tuesday.

Mrs. Paulsen was a woman of deep Christian character and was loved and respected for her womanly virtues.

The funeral services will be held tomorrow (Friday) at 9:30 A.M. at the Danish church and the body will be taken to Avoca, Iowa for interment, that being the old home of the family.

Besides the grief stricken husband, the deceased leaves two children, a son and daughter, both living at home.
