In 1905 deceased retired from the farm and moved into Stratford and she lived here in her own home until she was stricken with paralysis in July of 1922 and her health became so poorly that she went to live with her son, Oliver, southwest of town, at whose home she passed to her reward.

Mrs. Anderson was a kindly and very motherly lady. She had passed through all of the privations of the early settlers of this state and the state in which she first located when coming to this country. And through it all she maintained a Christian's true courage and fortitude. She rallied from her first illness in 1922 and was able some months to partly help herself but since the early part of this year she had gradually failed in health and strength until the end came.
Funeral services were held Sunday from the home of her son, Oliver, at 1:30 o'clock p.m., and from the Swedish Mission Church at 2 p.m. conducted by Rev. Abraham of Pilot Mound. Interment was made in the Hardin Township Cemetery.
