W. R. Zimmerman, and Rev. Strombom also spoke briefly of the life of the departed. The floral tributes were many and beautiful, showing the love and esteem of relatives and friends. The Carl Mogensen post of St. Paul, of which Edwin was a member, attended in a body and had charge of the services at the grave. A quartet consisting of Rev. and Mrs. Strombom, Mrs. Helen Rohman and Mr. Will Harvey and accompanied by Mrs. Howard Haggstrom at the piano rendered several beautiful selections. Pall bearers were Mssrs. Andrew Schow, Fred Johnson, Oscar Oakeson, John Panowicz, George Jacobson and Roy Larsen. Flower bearers were Misses Lillie Haggstrom, LaVerne Haggstrom and Mrs. Emil Johnson. OBITUARY – Edwin Alga Falk, son of Carl and Helena Falk was born at Dannebrog, Nebraska, December 15, 1890 and departed this life February 1, 1937 at his home in the Fairdale community. On March 4, 1921 he was united in marriage to Ella Haggstrom to which union was born four children: Doris Maxine, 13; Beulah Mae, 11; Carl Edwin, 9; and Jean Elaine, 6. Besides his wife and children he leaves to mourn his going, his mother, Mrs. Hilma Falk of St. Paul; three sisters, Mrs. Alex Gebhardt of Walla Walla, Washington, Miss Seri Falk of Cheyenne, Wyoming and Miss Irene Falk of Omaha, Nebraska; and two brothers, Herbert of St. Paul and Allen of Omaha, and many other relatives and friends. Early in life Edwin Falk accepted Christ as his Savior and joined the Methodist church at Fairdale March 2, 1913 and was faithful until death. On October 5, 1917 he enlisted in the service of his country and was among the first to be sent to France. He was a member of the 2nd Division and engaged in some of the worst skirmishes of the war, but quiet and a true soldier, he told little, so no full account of what he actually went through will ever be recorded on earthly pages. His honorable discharge from the army issued at Camp Dodge, Iowa March 21, 1919 is but a brief record of his experience, but stated, "Character, Excellent" and "Gassed, August 10, 1918." That partial line does not tell the agony and suffering he went through as he lay blind on the battle field and blind for several months in a hospital. On the day of his discharge from the hospital, he met John Rojiwski of St. Paul, but it was not until four months after the Armistice that the Casualty attachment, of which he was a member, landed at Camp Merit in New Hampshire. Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, February 11, 1937
