She had been in failing health for several months and suffered a stroke of paralysis October 26, passing away October 30 at the St. Elizabeth hospital in Lincoln. Mary Justine Wickstrom, daughter of Ulric and Anna Isaacson, was born July 19, 1856 in Boden, Sweden, and departed this life October 30, 1939, at the age of 83 years. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church in Boden Sweden. In 1875 her mother died. Two years later the family emigrated from Sweden to the United States. They settled on a farm north of Boelus, where they remained for three years. In 1880 they took up a homestead in Sherman county, on what is now the John Abel farm. In 1877 she was united in marriage to Oscar Wickstrom at St. Paul, Neb. To this union 10 children were born, seven of whom preceded their mother in death. Most of their early married life was spent in the west, at Jefferson, Colo, Harpers, Wyo, and in a mission on an Indian reservation in Idaho. In 1905 they moved to Rockville, where they built the hotel that they operated for three years. Then they moved to St. Paul, where they settled on a farm. While they resided there, their son, Willie, who was in the navy, died and was buried in the St. Paul cemetery. Two years later they moved to Palmer where they bought a hotel, which they operated for five years. Later they retired and came to Rockville, purchasing the home now owned by Frank Krakowski Sr. From here they moved to Ogallala to be with their son, Fred. There Mr. Wickstrom died in 1920. Then Mrs. Wickstrom returned to Rockville to keep house for her father and brother, John Isaacson. Since 1935 she has made her home with one or the other of her children. Mrs. Wickstrom is survived by two sons, Fred and George, of Lincoln; one daughter, Mrs. Merle Weber of Ogallala; two brothers, Ed and John Isaacson of Rockville; one sister, Mrs. Jack Keldsen of Wood River; eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends. The body was brought here from Lincoln Thursday and funeral services were held at the Evangelical church at 1 o'clock, with Rev. Carl Burkle of Loup City officiating. Mrs. Evelyn Bartunek, Mrs. Erma Woten, Rev. Burkle and Robert Garner sang three beautiful hymns, with Mrs. Burkle accompanying. Pallbearers were Leon Bartunek, Alton Woten, Howard Nielson, Lee Burman, Art Strom and Hilmer Ohlund. Interment was made in the St. Paul cemetery beside her husband.
