Early on the morning of Monday, January 13, 1896, Mrs. Annie Marie Mathisen after a brief illness was sunmmoned to her long home. Her devoted husband, Mr. P. Mathisen, was constant and untiring in his attention and nothing was left undone by the family and friends to alleviate her suffering and soothe her last moments. Her malady was very unusual, occurring very rarely in the clogging of a blood vessel in the brain. Mrs. Mathisen was the mother of Mrs. J. A. Sorensen and of Peter, Willie, Ellen, and Christian Hansen, her children by a former marriage. She also leaves a little boy, Arthur, the issue of her marriage to P. Mathisen.

Deceased was a native of Denmark, aged 45 years 7 months and 17 days. She was an estimable woman of rare worth. She was a faithful and affectionate wife, a kind and indulgent mother and an amiable and considerate neighbor. In common with all, we extend sympathy to the bereaved husband and family.

The funeral took place from the family residence in Woodside yesterday and was widely attended. The interment was in Union Cemetery. Rev O.M. Hester conducted the funeral.
