OBITUARY.
SEVERIN S6RDAL.
At St. Joseph's Hospital at St.
Paul last Friday evening at 6:15 o'
clock occurred the death of Severin
Sordal, a young man who has been
working in this neighborhood for the
past four years, three of which he
spent on the farm of C. A. Thorpe of
Green Lake and the past year on the
farm of Anton. Thorson of Kandiyohi
township. He was taken ill sometime
ago, and lay at the Willmar hospital
for three weeks last fall. He was
taken to St. Joseph's -hospital and
operated upon for ulcer of the stom
ach Jan. 15. On Jan. 20 he was again
operated upon for twisting of bow
els. Last Thursday Messrs. Thorpe,
Urdahl and Thorson were to see him.
and he seemed then to be very bright
and on the road to recovery. Friday
rtight he was taken with an internal
hemorrhage which resulted in his
death. Very sad indeed, was this
death of a young man separated by
thousands of miles and the Atlantic
ocean from his home, parents and
family. The funeral occurs today at
one o'clock from the Luth. Free
church of this city, Rev. M. B. Mich
aelson officiating. The interment
takes place in the Fairview ceme
tery.
Severin Sordal was born at Sordal,
near Stavanger, Norway, twenty-two
years ago Dec. 21st last. His par
ents are Anton and Elisabet Hanson,
who survive to mourn the untimely
death of their son, and a number of
brothers and sisters, all in Norway.
Two brothers, Lars and Hans, had
been working here for several years
on the Edw. Bredeson and Lars Ur
dahl farms, but returned to Norway
last fall. Lars L. Urdahl of Willmar
township is an uncle of the deceased
and Mrs. C. A. Thorpe of Green Lake
township is an aunt. Together with
Mr. Thorson, on whose place the boy
was working, his folks here have done
everything they could for him, spar
ing neither pains nor money to give
him the best of care and medical at
tention.
REV. R. K. FJELSTAD
Word has been received at Will
mar of the sudden death of Rev. Rolf
K. Fjelstad which occurred at his
^lome at Springfield,
Minn., yesterday
(Tuesday.) The de
ceased was born at
Nissedal, Norway,
Sept. 1, 1849 was
ordained a pastor
in the Synod at
Montevideo in 1884
joined the "major-
ity" of the Conference in 1887, which
later was merged with the Unite1
church. He served as pastor of the
East and West Norway Lake congre
gation, in this county from 1885 to
1900 inclusive. No information is at
hand of what caused his unlooked
for death. The funeral will occur
next Friday at Springfield. Mrs. J.
R. Petersen of this city is a niece of
the deceased.

The Second Match.
The next match between Potts and
Samuelson which will occur at Bonde
Hall at Willmar Friday evening, Feb,
2, is believed by many sports to be
the best wrestling match ever seen
at Willmar. Samuelson lost the
match after a hard struggle, but it
is pointed out that at that time he
was not in condition. Now he is in
the best of shape, having wrestled
daily with his trainer and adviser, J.
Root. He is in the pink of condition
and those who saw the first match
will not wish to miss this second one.
Samuelson is out to win, and has the
edge on Potts in strength and weight.
Potts is clever and is a master of the
science, and is the best light-weight
ever seen in action in our city. When
they get together next Friday night
there will be something doing.
Miss Allene Sherwood entertained
a few of her friends at her home on
Seventh street to a 6 o'clock dinner
la*t Tuesday evening.
WILL INSTALL
PIPE ORGAN
Syiiod Y. P. S. Will Have In
strument Installed ion
Synod Meeting.
At the close of a very pleasant pro
gram last Monday night, the Young
People's Society of the Norwegian
Lutheran Synod church by unani
mous vote decided that they would at
once purchase and install a new pipe
organ, the price of which is $1,700.
The make decided upon is the Kim
ball, and the resident salesman, Mr.
L. A. Tjosvold, who represents the
Kimball company in the State of
Minnesota, was present at the meet
ing and was able to make a conces
sion in price on his own account
which was greeted with enthusiasm
by the members of the society. The
society has between $800 and $900
in its pipe organ fund, and with the
concession made by Mr. Tjosvold, it
will be able to install the organ at
once and feel able that the difference
can be provided without great diffi
culty. This action is subject to the
ratification of the congregation which
meets in adjourned annual session
next Monday, but there is little doubt
but that the action of the Y. P. S.
will have the hearty endorsement of
the church. The idea of buying the
organ now is to have it in place be
fore the meeting of the District Syn
od which convenes at Willmar May
30. The plans are to place the or
gan in the front part of the church
to the left side of the chancel, and
the necessary alterations are figured
at only $50, which amount will also
be provided by the young people. The
instrument that the society has in
view is a very fine one, which will be
a credit to* the church as well as to
the city. The good offices of Mr.
Tjosvold in the purchase of this in
strument is not the full extent of
his benefactions for this society, for
he has also presented it with a new
$375 Kimball piano.
John Walby spent Sunday at his
parental home at Norway Lake.
Last Thursday evening a party was
