PIONEER LADY IS CALLED TO FINAL REWARD
Mrs. T. O. Sando Dies at Her Home in Wallingford
OVER 50 YEARS HERE
For several weeks, Mr. and Mrs. Tollef O. Sando have been very low and on Monday afternoon [7 Apr 1924], Mrs. Sando passed quietly away. For years she had been a sufferer with gall stones and this with the complications of old age caused her death. She had made her home in this county since a young girl coming here from Norway with her parents.
In 1871 she was married to Mr. Sando, and to them were born nine children: Barbara, wife of G. Gilbert; Randina and Beatta of Wallingford, Herman of Jackson, Minn.; Erick of Ringsted; Helen, Otto, Emma (Mrs. Anton Stoery) and Ferdinand, all deceased.
For a number of years after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Sando lived with their family on a homestead in Estherville township which Mr. Sando had taken from the government. This was later sold and a farm of 280 acres in Twelve Mile Lake township was purchased. In 1914 they retired from the farm and moved to Wallingford where they have since made their home. Their daughters, Randina and Beatta, have cared for them during these years.
Mrs. Sando was a faithful member of the Lutheran church, a devoted mother, wife and homemaker. The many admirable qualities that enabled her to "carry on" through the vicissitudes of pioneer home building made her a favorite among her circle of friends. She will be sorely missed by them as well as by her own immediate family and relatives.
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Wallingford church and interment made in the cemetery at that place. (Vindicator and Republican, Estherville, Iowa, April 9, 1924)
Obituary Mrs. T.O. Sando
Mrs. T.O. Sando, maiden name Halvorson, born in Aaal Hollingdahl, Norway the 6th day of August 1850. Here she was baptized by Rev. Kjeldstrup. In her tenth year she moved with her parents to Valdris, Norway where she was confirmed by Rev. Vindsness. Came to America in 1869 to Allamakee county, Iowa. She was joined in holy wedlock to Tollef O. Sando the 22nd day of August 1871, Rev. T.G. Dahl performing the ceremony. This union was blessed with nine children, five girls and four boys of which four died some years ago, viz: Helena, Emma, Otto and Ferdinand.
Mrs. Sando was a member of the Wallingford Lutheran Church from the year of its organization 1878 until her death. About three years ago Mrs. Sando was taken sick and has been gradually failing since until last Monday, April 7th, when she passed from this life to the Eternal Life. She was at her death 73 years, eight months and one day old. Those to mourn the loss of a dear wife and mother are Mr. T.O. Sando, daughters Mrs. Gus Gilbert, Randino and Beatta ando, Eric Sando of Ringsted, and Herman Sando of Jackson, Minn. Also fifteen grandchildren. Mrs. Sando has six sisters who are in this country, but were hindered from being present at the funeral: Mrs. Grangaard, Mrs. Hellicksen, Mrs. Martin Larson, at Waukon, Iowa, Mrs. Severt Sevatson of Decorah, Iowa, Mrs. Stadtsvold of Starbruck [Starbuck], Minn., and Mrs. Ole Arneson, Harmony, Minn.
Funeral services were held Thursday, April 10th from the home and the Riverside church. A great host of friends, relatives and neighbors had met to pay the last respects to Mrs. T.O. Sando who was derly loved by all who knew her and came in contact with her. The pallbearers were O.O. Refsell, James Refsell, J.O. Kasa, Halvor Egertson, L.L. Gunderson and K.K. Skattebo. Rev. T. Hansen conducted the funeral services assisted by Rev. M.C. Holseth of Minneapolis, Minn., and Prof. Strand. The choir sang some beautiful funeral songs both at the church and the cemetery. Mr. Sano, who is very sick, was assisted to the church in a rolling chair. He was determined to follow his wife to her last resting place and it was better than we had looked for being Mr. Sando felt even a little better in the evening after the funeral. It was a great comfort to Mrs. Sando to have her daughters attending her during her sickness and may the good Lord bless them for their kind words and acts towards their mother.
The sorrowing family has the sympathy of us all and May He who died to save us from sin, sickness and death at last gather us all in His glorious Heaven above. T. Hansen (Vindicator and Republican, Estherville, IA, April 16, 1924)
