Swanson, northwest of town, passed away in the Akron Hospital Sunday morning, April 2, 1939, flowing an operation for appendicitis, at the age of 22 years, 6 months and 24 days. Walter Raymond Swanson was born in Sioux Valley township, Union county, S.D., September 8, 1916, where he had lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Swanson, ever since. In infancy he was brought to Christ in baptism. In confirmation, on the 15th day of September, 1932, he renewed his baptismal covenant and made the promises that are so dear to the heart of every Lutheran. In November, 1938, he was united in marriage with Violet Fickhohm, and it, is sad that this happy marriage should come to such a sudden end. Walter was a model young man, with no bad habits. He did not visit those places that have ruined so many young lives. On the contrary, he had his mind set on things that are honorable in the sight of God and man. Seemingly, the future had many good things in store for him. He was a good and faithful son and a loving husband. He was highly respected in the community where he spent his entire life. His passing away has left a deep shadow over the hearts of his friends, who will ever cherish the memory of his loyal, upright life. To the family the community extends its sympathy. May the Almighty God comfort you and may the hope of a heavenly re-union cheer you until that day. Walter is mourned by his beloved wife, Violet; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Swanson; four brothers, Stanley, Arthur, Herbert and Leonard;-two-sisters Mrs. Albin Carlson and Mrs. Lloyd Bumm, and many other relatives and a host of friends. Peace to his memory. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o 'clock at the Union Creek Lutheran church, with Rev. D.J. Edward officiating, Interment was made in the Union Creek: cemetery. The pallbearers were six brothers-in-law: Henry, Ralph, Roy, Lloyd and Merle Fickbohm and Lloyd :Buum. Walter has gone from his dear ones, his loved ones, his wife, Whom he willingly toiled for and loved as his life. Oh! God, how mysterious and how strange are Thy ways! To take from us this loved one in the best of his days. Relatives who came from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Adam Bromd, of Wausau, Wis.; Mr. and Mrs. T.G. Ernst and family, of Le Mars, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Heisler and; family, of Beresford, S.D.; Mrs. Johnny Johnson and Violet Anderson, of Sioux City; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Fickbohm and baby, of Sioux Falls.
