CORRESPONDENCE

Ransom

Mr. and Mrs. Mons Sorem, who have been visiting for several weeks with friends in Iowa , returned hom a few days ago. It is pleasant to have friends to go and visit with occasionally, and very pleasant to have one's friends come to see you, but after such visits the universal experience seems to be that there's no place like home.

H. Hundson has rented for the year the place on which he is now living, the east half of section 9. Jesse Milton has rented from H.W. Shore , the southeast quarter of section 22. He moved to the place last week. There will be several more changes in town the coming spring.

Mrs. Henry Shore has gone to Nebraska to visit her parents and other relatives who are settled in that state. She will probably be gone two or three weeks.

There is a silent message that sooner or later comes to all, old and young, rich and poor the sons of pride and the lowly and unknown, each and everyone, sooner or later, receive the summons and departs to be seen no more. Sometimes the summons come very unexpectedly. It was so in the case of one of our Ransom people. On Monday, January 23, Mrs. G.E. Hizer died after a few days sickness, and was laid to rest in the Ransom cemetery on the Wednesday following. The funeral services were at the M.E. Church , and the large concourse of people that gathered there testified to the sympathy felt for the bereaved husband and family. She leaves five children, the oldest about ten and the youngest two. She died in the prime of life, she was about thirty.  As she lay in her coffin with her new born babie beside her, the sight was a touching one. The services were conducted by the German Lutheran minister from Little Rock , Iowa . The discourse was in English and was very impressive and fitting. The bereaved husband and family have the sincere sympathy of their neighbors and friends.

Indian Lake

Miss Mary Johnson and Jessie Hedberg were Indian Lake visitors last Saturday.

Rev. E.A. Eklund is still batching hope his wife will soon come home.

Dr. Frank Peterson, from the Twin Cities, will preach at the Indian Lake Baptist church on February 5th in the forenoon.
