DIES OF BURNS
Alexander Eide Succumbs to Severe Injuries-Funeral Held Tuesday
Alexander Eide, who was so severely burned a week ago Friday, at Nevada, when he tried to cut a high tension wire, died at the Sanitarium at Nevada Saturday evening at 9:30.
After the accident he was taken to the Sanitarium where he lived over a week. A few days before his death his right arm was removed at the shoulder and since that time he has been slowly sinking until Saturday night he passed away.
Alexander was born in Roland on August 16, 1897. In this city he grew up, attending the local schools and always making good use of his time. Since early childhood he was an industrious lad and was happy when given an opportunity to work around machinery. In this line he was very efficient and in late years developed to be an expert in his chosen profession, electrician. At the time of his death he was working for Cook Electric Co. at Nevada.
The death of Alexander is an occasion for much sorrow in this community. Everybody like him. He was always pleasant and had a good word of cheer for everyone he met. It is only a short three weeks ago since his mother, Mrs. Christine Eide died. His father J. H. Eide died about six years ago. His brother, Victor, is now the sole survivor of the family and he with his aunt, Mrs. Henrietta Duea, are the only near relatives in this country and they have the profound sympathy of the entire community.
The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Smedal. The Bergen church male chorus sang several appropriate selections. The church was crowded with friends who came to pay their last respects to a departed friend. He was laid to rest in the Roland cemetery by the side of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Eide.
