He died, we understand, from gastric ulcer of the stomach. The deceased was one of the oldest settlers of the county coming here in the early eighties. He had a farm four miles southeast of town. He was 41 years old. Doctors Kerr and Brimi held a post-mortem over the remains yesterday afternoon. The funeral occurred yesterday afternoon and the remains were interred in what is known as the Westley Cemetery south of town.

Tom's elderly mother was appointed his guardian. There appears to be another child, Ida T., who d. 30 September 1885. There may have been other family members who remained in Traill County, that I have not positively identified. Hermond Trulson was probably there when Tom and Eliza married. Also Tom had 2 sisters [Emiline/Emily/Emelie and Mary] who married 2 Knudtson [Knudson] brothers and were in North Dakota at the time. I have not been able to tie the Portland Knutson to this family, yet. The above was contributed by Sharon Buethner. |
