Mrs. A. J. Larsen Passes Away Very Suddenly -
This community was greatly shocked last Monday noon when the news of the death of Mrs. A. J. Larsen was passed about town. Mrs. Larsen died at about 11:30 a.m. of heart disease, after being seriously ill less than two days. She took sick while at the Empress Theatre Saturday night. Although suffering considerable pain, she was not considered dangerously ill. Death came very suddenly as she was raising up in her bed to take some medicine. Her daughter Lois and Mrs. W. H. Wohlers were with her at the time.
The funeral services were held at Trinity Lutheran church Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Dr. R. A. White. The great crowd which attended the funeral, and the wealth of floral tributes were testimony to the high regard everyone had for Mrs. Larsen. The church could not accommodate the number of people who came to pay their last respects to this wonderful woman. Her death has left an ache in many hearts. She was a friend to everyone and beloved by all who knew her. Her friendships reached not only the people of Wolbach but a great number in surrounding vicinity and elsewhere. Mrs. Larsen's cheerful personality with her ready smile and laughter will be greatly missed. Her deeds of kindness to those in trouble, and her helpfulness as a nurse to the sick took up many hours of her busy life. Her tireless efforts in behalf of many worthy organizations in Wolbach established a place for her that would be hard to fill. Her understanding and sympathy to the distressed won her a place in their hearts that her passing leaves void. She was a devoted wife and mother and her home and hospitality were always the source of much pleasure and enjoyment to her many friends. The entire community grieves deeply the loss of Mrs. Larsen, and her family has the profound sympathy of all.
OBITUARY - Grayce I. Peterson was born near Wolbach, Nebraska, July 9, 1886 and died at her home in Wolbach, November 3, 1930, aged 44 years, 3 months and 24 days. She was admitted to membership in Trinity Lutheran Church, Wolbach, April 10, 1903 and remained a faithful and loyal member of the same. With the exception of about two months her connection with the congregation has been parallel with its entire history. October 30, 1910, she was united in marriage to Alfred J. Larsen. To this union three children were born, namely Naomi, Lois and Lucille. In her girlhood days she took a course in nurses' training, and the knowledge thus gained was put to a good use, as many in the community can testify. Where ever there was sickness or distress, she was ever ready to lend a helping hand. For a time she was one of the proprietors of the drug store in our village, and in this as well as in many other ways, she showed a decided capacity for business. As an affectionate wife and devoted mother she will be sadly missed in the family. Her passing is a loss to the whole community. She will be missed by the church of which she was a loyal member. As she had a large share in the social life of the community, she will be missed by the various organizations to which she belonged. She leaves to mourn the loss, her husband, three children, one brother, Lloyd Peterson of Wolbach; one sister, Mrs. Carrie Ray of Lisco, Nebraska, numerous other relatives and a large number of friends.
