For a number of years she made her home with the Otto Mindrum family, remaining there until her final illness became too severe. Following a stay of a few weeks at the Lutheran Hospital at La Crosse, she was taken to the home of her brother, Peter, where she was carefully cared for until death released the soul of this loyal, devoted and Christian sister and aunt. Survivors are two sisters, Mrs. Hans Evenskaas of Milan, Minn., and Mrs. Alfred Peterson, Rushford; three brothers, Eling (Eddie) of Minot, N.D., George and Peter, Rushford.
