**********
OBITUARYMrs. H.G. Rude died Friday morning July 10th at her home in Arlington of heart trouble. The death came as a great shock to both relatives and friends as Mrs. Rude had always enjoyed the best of health, particularly during the year. The funeral was held Monday July 13, from the Norwegian Lutheran Church with Rev. Hinderaker and Rev. Taleton officiating. The church was beautifully decorated with house plants and cut flowers and the sermons delivered were very impressive. A large number of sorrowing relatives and friends present were very touching evidence of the high esteem in which Mrs. Rude was held. Interment was in the Nordland cemetery west of Arlington.
Anna Marie Hatlestad was born in Filmore County, Minnesota, January 10, 1862. In March 1879 she was united in marriage to H.G. Rude and very soon after that the young couple came to Volga where Mr. Rude filed on a claim. During the hard struggle for existence in the early days, Mrs. Rude stood side by side with her husband making light of every hardship, helping those around her with words of cheer and comfort. In 1892 they sold the farm at Volga and purchased a farm near Arlington which has been their home until three years ago when they moved to Arlington to enjoy the fruits of their many years of toil--well earned rest and comfort for years to come. Like a tired child she closed her eyes and went to meet her maker, serene in the confidence of life well spent--a rest well earned. Besides her husband, seven children are left to mourn the loss of mother: James, Edmund, Joe, Agnes, Rudolph, Otis and Norman. Two other children have preceded her in death, a son Norman and a daughter Esther. She also leaves a father, four brothers and a sister. Mrs. Rude was a member of the W.C.T.U. and active in its good work. She was also a member of the Norwegian Lutheran church and a teacher in the Sunday school. She was a Christian in the true sense of the word. Active in suppressing vice and helping others leading a good moral Christian life. Death must come to all. It is the climax of every life. And we know of no other method of departing from this world then quietly stepping from time into eternity as Mrs. Rude did. God in his infinite mercy had called her Home and the sorrowing relatives we can but say that Mrs. Rude is home in Heaven patiently waiting for her Christian teachings to bear fruit and unite her with her many friends and loved ones in one large family.
Card of Thanks:
We desire to express our heartfelt gratitude to the many kind friends and neighbors for their help and sympathy during our recent bereavement.
