He was born in Union county S.D., June 4th, 1879 and was 22 years 6 months and 26 days old. We all realize that death is sad, but we much more shocked when the young are taken, than when those are called who have reached the usual time allotted to man. Oscar was a good boy, beloved by all who knew him, and his untimely death has left a gloom in many homes on Union Creek. He was a healthy robust boy until a year or so ago, when he got wet and chilled, picking corn when the stalks were covered with ice. He contracted a severe cold which settled on his lungs, and soon after became chilled again and consumption resulted, from which time he speedily grew worse in spite of all that a kind father and skilled physicians could do. His father sent him to California last September and he remained there, seven weeks trying hot springs and everything recommended in that climate for this dreaded disease but he grew worse each day and returned home to die. He leaves a kind father, four brothers and two little sisters to mourn his departure, his mother having died in 1893, and an older sister went about 5 years ago. Funeral services were held at the Lutheran church in which he was christened, on Thursday January 2, and the remains laid beside his mother and sister in church yard. Mr. Valin conducted the services, assisted by the church choir and A.G. Johnson, directed. The casket was banked with beautiful floral offerings from friends, and his young friends, Martin Ericson, Henning Shoulberg, Malcolm Fredell, Hugo and Adolph Wiberg acted as pall bearers. As we stated last week, Mr. Johnson the bereaved father, and his mother, less children, have been called to give up several of their loved ones within the last decade, and it seems that their sorrow is more than they can bear, and the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community goes out to them in this dark hour.
