For several weeks she had suffered from a cold which developed into pneumonia, and from which she did not recover. Mrs. Benson was the daughter of Lars and Jorand Lien. She was born January 17, 1863, in Highland township, this country. With the exception of six years of her girlhood spent with a sister at Pipestone, Minnesota, she always lived in the township where she was born until February, 1928, when she removed with her husband to Elgin, Fayette county, Iowa. They purchased a new home this spring, which they had occupied but six weeks before her death. She was united in marriage with B. M. Benson on March 8, 1889. To them were born eight children: Leonard M. Benson; Mrs. O. H. Larson, Elkader; Mrs. C. O. Torkelson, Mrs. Josephine Moellerman; Mrs. Wm. Torkelson, Melvin Benson, and Belva Benson, all of Elgin, Iowa; and Mrs. Philman Embretson, of St. Olaf, Iowa. All but one, Leonard, who preceded her in death just five years ago, remain to join with their father in mourning the loss of a kindly, loving and devoted wife and mother. She also leaves eight little grandchildren, and four sisters; Mrs. A Stuvland and Mrs. N. G. Peterson, of Minneapolis; Mrs. Martin Simonstad, Grand Forks, N. D. , and Mrs. Martin Paulson, Austin, Minnesota; ________________ to the relatives there is a host of sorrowing friends, for her friends were counted by the number who knew her. Of an innately friendly and tender nature, which saw some good in everyone, she gained the esteem and affection of all who came in contact with her. When the little Highland Lutheran Congregation was established some twenty-seven years ago, and a church was built, she was one of the most active and most enthusiastic in furthering the movement. Since then, until her death, she was a constant worker and leader in the congregation and in the community. She gave unhesitatingly and unsparingly of her services and of her means. To her no task was too arduous to perform, no sacrifice too great to make, if thereby some good would come to someone. Of her, it can be truly said, that the world is better for having lived in it. Calmly and peacefully, as one who lies in quiet slumber, she answered the summons of her God, and entered her eternal home. She left an aching void in the hearts of a grieving husband and children, but she also left the sweet memory of a noble and lovely character, of a rich and beautiful life, and of a sustaining and unfaltering faith and trust in Him from whom all grace and goodness come. The funeral was held last Tuesday afternoon from her late home in Elgin, and interment was made in the cemetery of the Highland Lutheran church. Her pastor, Rev. Gunsten, of Clermont, officiated, assisted by Rev. Tysdal, of St. Olaf. Short services were conducted at the house, at which the Elgin quartette sang two songs. At the church Rev. Gunsten and Rev. Tysdal both delivered impressive sermons, inspired by the life of the deceased. A quartette of Clermont, and a trio of the Highland church sang three songs. And as the sweet and solemn strains of " Nearer My God To Thee" rose softly on the summer air, her body was gently laid to rest in the shadow of that little country church she had labored so faithfully and so untiringly to help build ____ Contributed. ---------- Card of Thanks May we take this means of expressing our deep appreciation of, and our sincere thanks for the kindly assistance rendered us, and the sympathy shown us by friends and neighbors during the illness of our dearly beloved wife and mother, Mrs. B. M. Benson. B. M. Benson and Children
