Middleton was born February 7, 1898, in Britt, Iowa, the second of a family of seven children born to Caroline and Peter Frandson. Her mother and a brother Axel preceded her in death. Her childhood was spent on a farm north of Britt. She took her nurses training at West End Hospital in Chicago and following the completion of her work, did private nursing for a number of ___ and in 1924 went to work for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad as industrial nurse in whose employ she was at the time of her death. From the C. B. & Qu. paper we get the following: "She has been commended by doctors, x-ray technicians and laymen on the exceptional detail, clarity and precision of her x-ray pictures. Her charming personality, sympathetic understanding and efficient ministering has endeared her to us all. As she stated: 'I love people, and love to help them.'" Mrs. Middleton was a member of the Railway Business Women's Association, was program chairman of the Burlington Division this past year; a member of the First District Illinois State Nurses' Association; and was an active member of the Central Church of Chicago. She found relaxation in after work hours in preparing and serving delicious and special dishes, to her many friends. "Nurse Katherine," as she was known by those with whom she worked, had taken a two weeks vacation and flew to Hawaii and it was while enroute to her home from the airport that the fatal accident occurred Sunday, May 17. The C. B. & Q. railroad company closed shop early Tuesday that all employees might attend the short services held that evening at which Dr. Kenneth Hilderbrand, pastor of the Central Church officiated. Left to mourn her departure are her father, Peter Frandson, Britt; three sisters, Emma Gilbert and Helen Gruder, Chicago, Ill., and Nan of Mason City, Iowa; two brothers, Harry of Ventura, and Charles, Britt; a nephew, James Gruder, Chicago; five nieces; Karla, Sue Ellen and Debby Frandson, Britt, and Kathy Frandson, Ventura; other relatives and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at the Evangelical Free Church at Britt, Thursday afternoon wi the Rev. Paul Wolstenholm, pastor of the Nazarene church of Minneapolis, Minn, in charge, in the absence of the pastor. Burial was made in the family lot in Evergreen cemetery at Britt. Out-of-town folks here to attend the last services were Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Jack, Auburn, Nebr.; the Misses Alice Anderson and Ermand Woods, Rochester, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gravos, Red Wing, Minn.; and Mr. and Mrs. Sky Corson, Mason City. The numbers floral tributes that were sent to Britt from Chicago are evidence that she was held in high esteem by those with whom she worked and associated. Among the memorials given at Britt were $75.00 for the Hancock County Memorial Hospital; other memorials gifts were given to the Evangelical Free Church and the First Lutheran Church building fund at Britt, and also to the First Lutheran Church building fund at Ventura.
