DEATH COMES WHILE IN SEARCH OF HEALTH
John Aanenson Dies Suddenly at Colorado Springs While on Way to Denver for Benefit of Health
While en route to Denver, Colo., in the hope of benefiting his health, John Aanenson, of Luverne township, passed away suddenly Friday afternoon at Colorado Springs.
Mr. Aanenson left Luverne on Wednesday of last week in company with P. A. Haugen with the exception of spending the winter in Denver. After reaching Omaha it became apparent that Mr. Aanenson's condition was growing worse, and Mr. Haugen attempted to persuade him to give up the trip and return home. But he appeared to be convinced that his health would improve after reaching his destination and the journey was accordingly continued, despite the fact Mr. Aanenson's decline became more and more pronounced as the trip progressed.
During the later part of the journey Mr. Aanenson expressed a desire to go to Colorado Springs instead of Denver, and they reached that place Thursday. Mr. Aanenson continued to grow weaker, however, and the end came Friday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock. Mr Haugen left Saturday on his return with the body and arrived here Monday morning. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. O. J. Mundahl, were held Wednesday, at 12 o'clock from the U. N. L. church in this city, and the body was laid at rest in the cemetery of that church.
The deceased was born May 2, 1867, near Christiansand, Norway, and emigrated to this country in 1982, settling in this county, where he had since made his home. On November 5, 1903, Mr. Aanenson was united in marriage to Miss Lena Olson, in this city. Six children were born to this union, all of whom, with the bereaved wife , survive. The children are Annie, Josephine, Aanen, Irvin, Joseph and Thelma. Other immediate relatives who survive are two bothers, Ole and Theodore Aanensen, of this county, the decreased's father, a sister and another brother, who resides in Norway.
For five years Mr. Aanenson had not enjoyed good health and for the last two years he had been suffering from asthma and heart trouble, which were the cause of death. The deceased was a quiet unassuming man, well liked and highly esteemed by all who knew him, and his demise was a severe shock to his family and large circle of acquaintances.
