Obituary – Eddie Leonard Mattson, the youngest son of John and Johana Matson, was born in Spring Creek, near Wolbach, Nebraska, May 29, 1898. After a brief illness which left him unconscious the last three days of his life, he died in peace Friday, March 13, 1914 at 4:30 p.m., aged fifteen years, nine months and fifteen days. Eddie leaves to mourn him, his father and mother, five sisters and three brothers, besides other relatives and friends. He has gone to meet the three sisters and two brothers who preceded him to the better land. He was confirmed as a member of Trinity Lutheran church, March 31, 1912 by Rev. Henry Voegtley, a former pastor. He remained a faithful member of the church. The records show that he attended the last communion held in the church December 28, 1913. He was of a religious turn of mind, which led him to manifest a due concern for his soul's eternal welfare. He attended [illegible] meetings including the recent revival services in Wolbach, and availed himself of their opportunities for spiritual enlightenment. Funeral services were held in the Lutheran church Tuesday March 17 at 2:00 p.m. These were conducted in English by Rev. R. A. White pastor of the church and in Swedish by Rev. Strombaum, pastor of the Swedish church, after which the remains were entered in the Wolbach cemetery. The attendance was very large. May the God of peace strengthen and comfort the bereaved ones in their sorrow.
