Erickson had passed away. Wherever they were spoken it left sorrow, and the expressions of sympathy for the bereaved ones were many and from the heart. Mr. Erickson was taken sick with pneumonia about a week before his death and although it was known that he was seriously ill it was not thought he would be called home so soon. He was one of the early settlers of Swede Bend and also a veteran of the Civil War. Mr. Erickson was a kind and loving husband and father, and to his friends the soul of fellowship. He was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him and he was a man who believed in scattering flowers in the pathway of his fellow men. His last words were expressive of peace in God and a willingness to depart and be at rest with Him. His cheerful life, his devotion to his wife and family and kindness to everybody will linger in the presence of those with whom he has been associated. Erick Augustus Carlson was born August 17, 1838, in Ulrika Socken, Östergötland, Sweden and came to this country in October, 1851 settling in Swede Bend, where he has since resided. He enlisted in the Civil War, fourth sergeant, Co. I, Aug. 22, 1862, where he fought for the country's cause, and was captured and wounded at Altoona, Georgia, October 5, 1864, and never fully recovered from the wounds sustained. He was united in marriage to Margaret Olofson, January 22, 1867. To this union eleven children were born, of whom ten are still living, who with his wife, and relatives and a large host of friends, are left to mourn his demise. We can only remind the mourners that he is not dead, he is only sleeping - resting after a long and well spent life here. One by one the veterans of the Civil War are taken from the ranks, their services having been fully completed. The funeral services were held at the residence Tuesday afternoon, Rev. J.L. DeWitt, pastor of the M.E. church, officiating and paying a beautiful tribute to the memory of the deceased. The casket was bedecked with beautiful floral designs, all of which spoke of peace, purity and immortality. An unusually large procession followed the remains to the Swede Bend cemetery, where the remains were interred.
