MRS. PETER BLOMGREN.
In our last issue we made brief men
tion of the death of Mrs. Peter Blom
gren, which occurred on the home farm
in Lake Lillian, April 11. after an ill
ness of about a year with heart and
kidney trouble.
Mrs. Anna (Erickson) Blomgren was
born in Moe, Gagnef parish, Dalarne,
Sweden. July 11. 1849. She came to
America in 1S75 and shortly afterwards
married her first husband. Peter John
son. He died in 1887, and in 1890 she
was married to Peter Blomgren who
survives her. She is also mourned by
three sons and three daughters—Mr. Al
fred Johnson and Mrs. John E. Sjoberg
of Bowbells. N. D. Mrs. Walter Peter
son of Westby, N. D. Ellen Emll and
Fred Blomgren, who live at home. She
also leaves a brother and sister—John
Erickson and Mrs. Peter Anderson, and
other relatives and many friends.
The funeral occurred April 16 at the
Christine church. Rev. Alexander Pet
erson conducted the services. There
was a song by the choir and a solo by
M. Walner. The pallbearers were Ole
Granquist, M. Walner, Peter Erickson,
P. S. J. Johnson, A. M. Hedin and Ole
Lundquist.
Peace to the memory of this good
pioneer woman!
Suggests A. J. Smithson for Senator.
Editor Willmar Tribune:
Being in Willmar today on a hear
ing of a ditch, I heard that Mr. P.
Bonde had again filed for sheriff for
this county. The Willmar Tribune
proposed him to run for State Sen
ator, but as he has not accepted the
proposition, I take the liberty to pro
pose another good man, namely, Mr.
A. J. Smithson from Roseville, at
Hawick, Minn. We all know that Mr.
Smithson is a competent man and a
good honest farmer. As the fanners
are in the majority we ought to some
time be represented in Senate. We
have for years had city people to re
present us and of course they were
good men and have done some good.
I have talked with quite a few men in
Willmar and out in the country. They
all seem to be in favor of Mr. Smith
son, so when I am urging Mr. Smith
son to run, I am sure I am express
ing the sentiment of the majority of
the people. All in favor of this signi
fy by dropping Mr. Smithson a card
and say RUN.
H. AND. LOBNITZ.
NOTICE TO PBOPEBTT OWNERS.
The Willmar Commercial Club,
through its Committee on Local Im
provements, is endeavoring to beautify
the city, particularly its boulevards.
In many instances branches on trees
on the boulevards are so low as to in
terfere with pedestrians on the side
walks. All owners of property are,
therefore, respectfully requested to
trim off the branches on their boule
vard trees to a height of eight feet
from the ground. This will allow free
access to pedestrians and will give the
boulevards a uniform appearance.
T. O. GILBERT, President.
All Willmar People Puzzled.
"What makes the wheel go 'round?"
is what every one in Willmar is now
thinking about.
Some are so absorbed in this puzzle,
that eating or sleeping has become a
secondary affair to them.
Briefly stated, it is this:
In one of the windows at the New
York 5 and 10 cent store a wheel is re
volving. The New York 5 and 10 cent
store offers a nice big tea kettle FREE
to those who guess correctly the way
the wheel is made to revolve. The puz
zle by itself is interesting, but say,
Mabel, aren't the tea kettles stunning?
NOTICE TO BICYCLE RIDERS.
Please take notice that riding bi
cycles on sidewalks is forbidden by
ordinance, and offenders will be pros
ecuted.
