His pastor, Rev. Raymond Rush conducted short funeral services at the home in St. Paul, following which the body was taken to the church in Fairdale community where a former pastor, Rev. Barton assisted with the services there. Interment was made in Fairdale cemetery. The pall bearers were grandsons and the grand daughters acted as flower bearers. John Isaac Haggstrom was born in North Bottom, Boden, Sweden August 25th 1855 and died July 25th, 1934, age 78 years and 11 months. He came from the "land of the midnight sun." There are three days of the year in that part of Sweden from which he came where the sun never sets. The deceased was confirmed in the Lutheran faith and at the age of twenty-two was married to Fredericka Vickstron. To this union one daughter, Mrs. A. G. Dahlberg of Fairdale community was born. When this child was sixteen weeks old the family came to America, arriving at Dannebrog in August 1879, where Mrs. Haggstrom died in 1880. In 1881 Mr. Haggstrom homesteaded in Fairdale precinct where he resided for many years, moving to St. Paul a few years ago. On May 29, 1888 [not clear, 1883?] he married Miss Annie Lindberg and to this union six children were born, namely, Mrs. Arthur L. Larson, Lincoln, Nebraska; Mrs. Edwin Falk, Fairdale; Oscar Haggstrom, St. Paul; Gustaf Haggstrom, Fairdale; Albin Haggstrom, near Greeley and the youngest, Lillie Alma who died in infancy. Mr. Haggstrom was a strong character and a good man, conscientious in his dealings with his fellow man. Honesty was his motto. He had lots of driving power in him, a man of good judgment, and executive ability. In the early days he together with his faithful wife helped to make these barren plains a beautiful place to live and bring up a family. He first lived in a "dugout" then in a sod house and later in a modern home. He had his share of the joys and successes of life. He also had his share of the hardships and sorrows of life. He brought up a family that is a credit to the community as he himself was. When the Methodist church was organized in Fairdale he became one of the charter members. He was not only a faithful attendant upon the means of grace and a strong supporter of the good cause, when the Fairdale church building was erected he gave liberly (sic) of his means. When he retired and moved to St. Paul he transferred his church membership to the St. Paul Methodist church and remained a faithful member until death. May his memory be lasting to his near and dear ones and relatives and friends until we shall all meet again with our Redeemer and Saviour. The deceased leaves to mourn his death his faithful help mate and wife for more than fifty-two years who has been a leading factor in his success in life, his six children mentioned above, thirty grandchildren, two great grandchildren, five half brothers and sisters, namely: Herbert Haggstrom, Brayton, Nebr; Knut Haggstrom, Hughson, Calif; Mrs. Emanuel Navarro, St. Paul, Minn; who were present at the funeral and two sisters residing in Sweden; many other relatives and a host of friends. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved family. Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, August 2, 1934
