PAUL HOV AND
BROTHER DIED
ON SAME DAY
Letter from Parents in Gudbrands
dalen, Norway, Shows That Ottar
Hov Also'Succumbed to Pneumonia
On October 23.
On October 23, last, when Paul
Hov of Grand Forks died following
an attack of influenza and pneu
monia, his brother, Ottar, died of the
same disease at the old farm home
in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, accord
ing to a letter received from the par
ents of the brother, and published in
today's Normanden.
The letter, dated December 22, is
signed by Syver Lunke of the Hov
farm in Oier, Gudbrandsdalen,' and
asks that all friends of the late Paul
Hov be thanked sincerely for the
friendship shown him during his ill
ness and for the arrangement of the
funeral services. Special gratitude is
expressed to members of the Varden
lodge and the Norwegian club of both
of which organizations Paul Hov was
an active and influential member.
Further on in the communication
Mr. Hov*s father writes:
"It has been a sad autumn for us.
On the very same day when Paul
died, we lost our son, Ottar, here.
He, too, died of pneumonia. It is
hard to lose two sons at the same
time. But I suppose we could not ex-,
pect to live without sorrow in Nor
way when we consider how badly
nearly all other countries have been
suffering during the last few years,
and it may be for that reason, that we
were visited by this epidemic which
has claimed so many victims, mostly
young people."
