The body of Anders E. Boen was found lying underneath his delivery wagon near the intersection of Maple avenue and Vine street—about two blocks north of the old Great Northern station site—early Tuesday morning. His neck was broken and it was at first supposed that he had been thrown from the vehicle and killed, but further investigation indicates that he probably died from appoplexy and fell from the rig afterwards.
Mr. Boen has conducted the second hand store on Bismarck avenue for several years past and has resided at 526 Spruce street. Monday evening his wife drove their horse down to the store for him to deliver a baby carriage in the vicinity of Lake Alice. He took the horse and started and she walked home. He was apparently stricken and fell while on Union avenue and his horse then turned for home. One of the reins was clutched firmly in his hand, and the wheel tracks show that the horse wandered a few feet from the road, crossed a small excavation and finally turned short, upsetting the vehicle and throwing him out. The rig no sooner upset than the animal stopped and remained standing throughout the night, being found just where it had stopped. Mr. Boen had recently been to see a physician in regard to some throat trouble, and shortly afterwards ruptured a small blood vessel in his throat, but had paid very little attention to the matter. He had also complained of dizzy spells, and had apparently had a foreboding that the end was near, as he had given his son directions regarding the business in case of his death.
Aners E. Boen was born in Norway in 1854, being 50 years and 11 days old at the time of is death. He was one of the pioneer settlers of tha town of Aurdal, and an able and energetic citizen. He was a brother of ex-congressman Haldor E. Boen and also leaves several other brothers and sisters. His family consists of his wife and five children, four sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Elmer Boen, is employed in R. J. Angus' office, and the second son, Bert Boen, was one of the members of the high school debating team during the past year. The other children are Miss Belle Boen, Rudolph Boen and Melvin
Boen.
So far as is known, he carried no life insurance.
The funeral will be held at 2 p. m. tomorrow (Wednesday).
