Bernice was in town helping Mrs. Ed Vinje, who had just moved into town. Her brother, Kenneth came in to get her Saturday evening as she wanted to spend Sunday at home. They started for home and got a mile and a half from home when the car stalled. They got out as they intended following a fence to the Brorson farm, but as they got out of the car, the wind took Bernice away from her brother, and by the time they found each other again they had become so confused, they did not know what direction they were going. They wandered around for sometime. Finally when Bernice became too exhausted to walk further, Kenneth carried her on his back. Then when she became so numb that she couldnÕt hold on any longer he had to leave her and try to reach help. He walked across fields and highways finally coming to the Joe Hanson farm, where he remained until about four oÕclock in the morning when a neighbor, who was called out to help form a searching party, stopped in at the Hanson farm and took him home. The searchers started in all directions from the stalled car and it was about seven oÕclock when they came upon the body of Miss Larson. Bernice was born at the farm home of her parents, September 10, 1919 and was graduated from the Gardner High School. She was confirmed in the Nora Lutheran Church. Funeral services were held Thursday at 2 in Nora Church. Burial was in the church cemetery. Runaway Box Car Derailed Here Bruce Smith Throws Switch in Time to Stop Car Bruce Smith the G.

Services to be held from the Methodist Church Friday at 2:30 Funeral services will be held Friday at 2:30 p.m. from the Methodist church for Eldon Fisk, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Fisk, who passed away in a Fargo hospital, Tuesday night. Eldon was taken to Fargo last Friday when it was learned he was suffering from pneumonia. Little hope was held out for his recovery due to the fact he had a serious heart ailment. Eldon had just completed two terms of school at Mayville State Teachers College and had expected to stay at home this spring. It is with great sympathy for his family and friends that we learned of EldonÕs passing, for truly it can be said, he was a friend to all who knew and loved him. The body is at the Lindsey Funeral Home at Page. Heroic Efforts of 15 Year Old Girl Saves Lives of 2 Others During the storm Saturday night, what might have been a triple tragedy was averted by the heroic action of 15 year old Myrna Skauge. Myrna, her sister Rita and brother Johnny were home alone as their parents were attending a Legion meeting in town. When the storm struck, the chimney on the house was blown off and the house became full of smoke and Myrna, thinking the house was on fire, took the two smaller children, wrapped them up in coats and started for Dr. GowenlockÕs home, ? mile away. She had to crawl on her hands so she could determine where she was as the road is graveled. Getting to the corner of the DoctorÕs yard she could at times see the yard light, which the Doctor had left on. When she got to the house the wind was so strong it took their breath away and Myrna took the heavy coat, knelt close to the house, and put the coat around their heads until they could breathe again, then proceeded around to the door of the DoctorÕs house. In less than five minutes after they got into the house, the lights all went out. What might have happened if the lights had gone out five minutes before, we do not wish to think of. But in our estimation Myrna is deserving of a medal for her heroic action.

Rosendahl Death comes to Mr. Rosendahl while in Fargo Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church for Peter Rosendahl, who passed away in Fargo Thursday night. Rev. Graham officiated and a quartet composed of Mmes. Otis Mays and E. I. Moen and Messrs. K. Brandhagen and M. Carr sang, ÒUnder His Wings,Ó ÒIn The Hour of TrialÓ and ÒAbide With Me.Ó They were accompanied by Mrs. C. H. Howells. Pallbearers were, Otto Ottesen, Henry Worsley, Peter Holtse, Fred Ottesen, Earl Frickey and Pete Hoy. The body was laid to rest in the family lot in the Hunter Cemetery. H. P. Rosendahl was born in Hakskow, Denmark, January 30, 1879. He grew to manhood in his native country, attending the schools of the locality in which he lived. In addition to his general education, he attended, and completed a four year course in agriculture, fitting himself for the responsibility of the supervision of large estates. In 1902, he was married to Keta Elizabeth Christiansen, and soon afterward they left for America, coming that same year to Hunter. Naturally, Mr. Rosendahl sought employment on the farm, having fitted himself along those lines. In the years from 1907-1911, he was employed in the supervision of the farms of Alex Sterns. At the close of that term of service he and his wife returned for a few months visit, to their native land. Returning, they had booked passage on the ill-fated titanic, but yielding to the importunity of others who sought the supposed privilege of travel home by that boat on her maiden voyage, he escaped the fate of her passengers. Again in this vicinity, he and his wife began farming on the land that was their home at the time of death. Mrs. Rosendahl preceded her husband in death, the 25th of last June. To them were born two sons, Robert of South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Clifford, living on the home farm. Two sisters, Mrs. Gray, and Mrs. Hans Friese, live in Denmark. Mr. Rosendahl passed away while in Fargo last Thursday evening, aged 61 years, one month and 13 days. March 27, 1941 Friends Pay Tribute to Eldon C. Fisk at Service Fri. Active in School Affairs The many friends, relatives, and classmates gathered at the Methodist Church Friday afternoon, March 21, to pay their last respects to the memory of Eldon C. Fisk. The beautiful floral offerings and the many expressions of sympathy bore a silent tribute of the love and esteem held for him. The services were conducted by Rev. H. J. Gernhardt, who very fittingly chose as his text words from John 17:3, ÒAnd this is Life Eternal, that they know Thee, the only real God, and Him, whom Thou has sent, even Jesus Christ.Ó A quartette consisting of Mrs. E. I. Moen, Mrs. Carl Howells, Mr. Kenneth Brandhagen and Mr. Kenneth Thompson sang three beautiful numbers, Saved by Grace, Jesus Cares, and The Glory Song. They were accompanied by Mrs. Kenneth Thompson. The pallbearers, all classmates, were Dellwyn Fisk, Charles Parkhurst, Walter Beringer, Merlyn Anderson, Merland Moen, and Tommy Brekke of Mayville. The body was laid to rest in the local cemetery. Eldon Clyde Fisk, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Fisk, was born September 14, 1920, at Hunter, North Dakota, and died March 18, 1941 at the age of twenty. He became ill with pneumonia and was taken to a Fargo hospital last Friday where he died Tuesday March 18, from a heart ailment with which he had been afflicted for several years. Eldon was a member of the Hunter Methodist Church where he attended church and Sunday School throughout his life. He attended school at Hunter, North Dakota and was a member of the 1940 graduating class. He had attended the Mayville State Teachers College the past year, he was a member of the college debate team and was a reporter on the College Exponent. During his last year in High School he was also associated with the Hunter Times, and was responsible for the beginning of the Hunter Student. He leaves to survive him his parents, two brothers, Allen of Bismarck, and Douglas at home and four sisters, Mrs. Bernard Curtis of Cooperstown, Mavis of Mayville and Donna and Rebecca at home. These following lines are some thoughts so beautifully expressed by one of EldonÕs college classmates, ÒIt is not for us to ask, ÔWhy?Õ The Lord moves in strange manners his wonders to perform.Ó Eldon had such a good time living that he had at such an early age gained what it takes others twice as long to glean. His illness has given him the depth, philosophy, and quality of a much more mature man. And so his purpose here on earth was fulfilled early. His ambition was so much greater than his physical ability that I fear his limitations would have chafed him and discouraged him in later years. It is best that he went as he did. GodÕs word is full of the thought of life in connection with the ChristianÕs death, ÒThe righteous shall enter into eternal lifeÓ Matt. 25:46, ÒThis is the promise which he promised us, even the life eternalÓ I John, 2:25.
