She began to fail about two years ago and for about a year past had been confined to her bed. Mrs. Anderson had passed the century mark and if she had been spared until July second would have rounded out 101 years. Her son Lars and daughter-in-law Mrs. Benedict Anderson lived with her and tenderly cared for her. Anna Martinson Solem was born in Norfjord, Norway, July 2, 1830, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Solem. She was married to Andrew Anderson, the marriage taking place in Norway. They came to the United States in 1879. The family home was established in Pleasant township and for forty-five years the deceased had lived on the same farm in that township. Six children were born to the union, five sons and one daughter. One son, Benedick, is deceased. The surviving children are Lars Anderson, Pleasant township, Sam Anderson, La Crosse, Wis., Joe Anderson, Pleasant, Martin Larson, Freeport, Iowa, Bertha (Mrs. John Stoskopf) who lives near Sattre. The husband and father passed away many years ago. Ten grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren also survive. Mrs. Anderson lived a long and useful life. She was a good wife and mother and beloved in a large circle of friends. To have lived for almost 102 years is allotted to but few. She was always active and seldom ill, having enjoyed good health up until about two years before death called her. To the bereaved children left to mourn the sympathy of many friends is extended. The funeral services were held Friday afternoon, July 3, from the Big Canoe church. Rev. T.O. Tolo officiated and interment was in the cemetery nearby. Those from away in attendance at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Sam Anderson of La Crosse and Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Graves, Mitchell, Iowa.
