Read More	The Nebraska Signal, 28 April 1955 Oscar Toren, Resident 71 Years, Dies Unexpectedly John Oscar Toren was born at Moline, Ill., May 27, 1879. He passed to his eternal rest at the farm home southwest of Geneva, Neb., April 22, 1955 at the age of 75 years, 10 months and 25 days. Death came unexpectedly while he was performing his usual farm work. He was the son of John and Ida Skoglund Toren. The family moved to Nebraska in 1884, when Oscar was five years old, and located on a farm southwest of Geneva, where they continued to reside, and where he and his brother Albin lived together 21 years. The father departed this life in 1927, the mother in 1932, and Albin September 13, 1953. On coming to Nebraska the family transferred its church membership to the Swedish Lutheran church at Shickley. January 22, 1893, the Toren family united with the Methodist church of Geneva under the ministry of Rev. J.H. Barker. The Toren family continued with the church through the years. The immediate family left to mourn include a brother, Victor, and Mrs. Toren, who reside in Geneva, and a sister, Mrs. Alma Weston, and her husband, who reside at Montrose, Col. There is also a niece, Mrs. May Anderson with her husband and little daughters, Joann Kay and Bonnie Jean, who reside on a farm near the Toren homestead. There are two nephews Byron Weston, his wife and little son, Bobby Lee, of Montrose, Col., and Arthur Toren of Geneva. There are also 10 cousins, and other relatives and friends. Oscar Toren was an industrious and progressive farmer. He witnessed many changes in the 71 years of residence on the same farm; but he kept up on farming methods and also farm equipment. He was a kindly and helpful man in his community and always interested in maintaining the best standards of life and labor. He spent his life as a workman not ashamed, rightly handling God's truth in soil and service to the honor of His Holy Name. Services were held Monday afternoon, April 25, at the Kritner-Ashby Funeral Home in Geneva at 2 o'clock. Dr. F.E. Pfoutz, pastor of the Methodist church, gave the tribute. Mrs. H.A. Rosenau and Mrs. Robert Walstrom provided the ministry of music. The hymns were "Going Down the Valley" and "Good Night and Good Morning." The pallbearers were Clark Yates, Paul Sanders, Walter Mau, Harry Heller, Emil Reinsch and Ben Hopken. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery.
