SOBY DIES THURSDAY MORNING At about 8:30 Thursday morning death beckoned one of Claresholm's best known and most beloved old-time citizens, in the person of Mrs J.M. Soby. Mrs Soby suffered a slight stroke in September 1933 followed by one more severe in June 1934, and as a result had been compelled to retire from active duties in the store. She seemed to rally her physical forces fairly satisfactorily and was getting around quite nicely till a day or two before her death, when a severe heart disturbance developed that proved fatal. Mrs Soby had come to this district in 1905, its pioneer days, and had contributed through her influence and extreme generosity to its unbroken progress. Hers was a deeply religious nature, of the practical kind, and many a personal burden was lightened by her sympathetic confidence. Mrs Soby was born at Tistadalen, Norway on October 8 1862 and both she and her surviving husband migrated to the land of promise in the United States in the year 1884. Two years later, in Minnesota, they were married, and from there moved to North Dakota, engaging in the general store business at Crary, near Devil's Lake. In 1905 Mr and Mrs Soby came to Claresholm, buying out the Odegard & Solberg store business. Mrs Soby was the mother of eight children, six of whom survive. They are: Mrs W.E. Atkinson, Claresholm Mrs J.A. Schmidt, Tugaske, SK, who spent the summer here with her mother Mrs Adolph Amundsen, Claresholm Roy Soby, Claresholm Mrs C.J. Amundsen, Claresholm and Dr Harold W Soby of High River. One son, Alfred, died June 11 1912 at the age of 22, and another son, Alvin, died July 12 1914 at the age of 14 years. There are 18 surviving grandchildren. Mrs Soby came from a highly connected family in her homeland of Norway, and she is survived by three sisters in Norway. One brother and two sisters predeceased her, the brother passing about a year ago.
