Ole I Hoyem Dies Of Cancer Trouble
Ole I. Hoyem, son of Mr. and Mrs. Iver Hoyem, died at the Hoyem home in this city Tuesday morning of cancer. Funeral services were conducted at the Lutheran church this afternoon by Rev Holbeck, interment being in Mountain View.
Ole I. Hoyem was born August 21, 1882, near Trondhjem, Norway; died September 12, 1922, at the age of 40 years and 12 days.
He came to America with his mother when a lad of four, to join his father, who had preceded them to Eau Claire, Wis. When he was seven years old the family moved to Melville, Mont., Sweet Grass county being his home until he was 13 1/2 years old when he went out into the world to shift for himself. He resided at Lavina eight years or so spent two winters in Omaha, Neb., and one semester at the Agricultural college at Bozeman, but since then he made his home at Forsyth, where he engaged in ranching until four years ago when his health failed. Last summer he was engaged as cook for the Stellar Oil Co. crew at Stellar Creek, out fro Forsyth, and when fall came he followed the carpenter trade in Forsyth. He was ill with the flu at that time and it was not long before he had to lay down his tools but would not go to bed, and then followed a hard winter's fight against his growing ailment. However, when March came he had to keep his bed, was brought to the Deaconess hospital at Forsyth, April 6 where he put up a brave fight against the inevitable. He was brought home on a stretcher on June 22, hoping that by coming home to mountainous air he might improve in health, but cancer caused from infection had set in about 11 years ago the time had come when nothing would help him.
Ole Hoyem was of a lovable nature, this quality showing best in his love and care for his mother. He made many friends where he went who feel the vacancy made by his passing. Besides his many friends and relatives left to mourn him are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Iver Hoyem, two sisters, Miss Ida Hoyem and Mrs. Eli Hoyseth, and two brothers, Mike and Ingwald Hoyem.
