Burnham of this city. There she lived until she was taken to the Waupaca Community Hospital April 20, 1933, where she underwent a serious operation. An embolus became lodged on the brain causing a condition which all medical skill was helpless to remove. She passed away Monday afternoon, May 8,1933 at 12:25. Mrs. Larson leaves to mourn, her husband and two children, Carl, 24, stationed at Ft. Snelling, MN, and Esther, 15, a student at Waupaca high school. Another son, born Jan. 20, 1923, died at birth.

Nelson, Clarence and Theodore, Iona, SD, Morris, Rockford, IL, Theron, Ludington, MI, and Loyal of Green Bay, and a large number of relatives and a host of friends. A most sincere Christian spirit was ever manifested in her daily life. It was always a pleasure for her to take into her home children who were in need of a Mother's care. More than a score of children have been cared for at different times in the Larson home. In the church, Sunday School, and Ladies Aid Society she was a most devoted member, always taking part in the activities of Christian service. Her membership was in the Immanuel Lutheran church, of Waupaca. In the community she was an inspiration for others, always ready and willing to give of herself to make others happier. The funeral is being held this Thursday afternoon, May 11, 1933 at one o'clock from the home, followed by service in the Immanuel Lutheran church conducted by Rev. F. A. Reier. Interment will be in the Salem cemetery. Pallbearers are John Erickson, Oscar Modeen, Leonard Peterson, Edwin Anderson, D. F. Burnham, and George Madson.
