OBITUARY
The citizens of Highmore and Hyde county have again suffered the loss of one of the early pioneer mothers in the death of Malisse Marie Sunding, which occurred early Saturday morning, November 30th in her home here in the city.
Grandma Sunding, as she was usually called by relatives and friends, lived a long and useful life and attained the ripe old age of 91 years, 10 months and 4 days. The last few years of her life she was mostly bed fast, but had the tender care of her loving and devoted daughter, Mrs. Emily Keiser, who stood faithfully by her to the last.
Malisse Marie Sunding ( Anderson was her maiden name) was born near Stockholm, Sweden, January 26th, 1844. She was baptized in the Lutheran church and instructed in the Lutheran confessions and at the age of 15 she was confirmed in this faith to which she was faithful and true and sought always to lead a true christian life.
She spent her girlhood and young womanhood in her native land, but came to the United States in June, 1870 and her first stopping place was the city of Chicago, where she spent a few months. However, her stay there was quite short, as she was united in marriage the same year on December 15th, to Charles Sunding at Dekalb, Illinois, and then went to live on a farm near Rochelle, Illinois, returning there for a number of years. In the year 1883 she together with her husband decided to go west and thus came to Hyde county in the spring of that year, settling in Douglas township on a pre-emption where they endured the hardships of pioneer life for many years, living in a sod shanty with their family.
In 1892 they moved to Holabird township on a claim and remained there for 10 years. Again they moved, this time on to a homestead in Highmore township and lived there from 1902 to 1919 when they retired from farm life and moved into Highmore.
Mrs. Sunding was preceded in death by her husband who passed away in his home here in Highmore, May 16, 1926.
She became the mother of nine children, five boys and four girls; four boys and two girls have also preceded her in death.
She leaves to mourn her loss three children, Mrs. Emily Keiser of Highmore, Harry Sunding and Mrs. Hulda Gilbreath, both of Ames, Iowa. There are also seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren, two sisters and a brother in Sweden and a sister, who resides in Chicago. Besides these she has a number of nephews and nieces. She has also a host of friends who join with the relatives in mourning her loss.
The funeral was held from the home and the Congregational church on Tuesday afternoon, December 3rd, conducted by the Lutheran pastor, L. L. Ullensvang. As the casket was carried in "Nearer my God to Thee" was played and then sung at the opening of services. A small choir sang "Saved by Grace" and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Words of comfort were also spoken by Rhoda Jane Dickinson, the Congregational pastor. The pall bearers were Seward Gibbs, Jim Hamlin, Conrad Sunding, Albert Enstad, Ira Cody and Ed Prostrollo. Interment was made in the Highmore cemetery beside her husband and two of her sons.
Then in closing a verse of tribute to Mother: To one who bore the sweetest name, And added luster to the same. Who shared our joys, cheered us when sad, The greatest friend we ever had. Long was her life and nobly spent. She brought good cheer where 'ere she went. There is no one else who can take the place of our dear mother. Blessed be her memory.
The relatives and Lutheran group and pastor wish to take this opportunity to thank the Congregational church with its pastor for so kindly granting the use of the church for this occasion. also wish to thank the organist and choir which sang so nicely.
Those from a distance attending the funeral were Harry Sunding and Mrs. Hulda Gilbreath, of Ames Iowa; Mrs. Amy Phelps and Donita Keiser, both of Beloit, Wis.
