Memories about Thordis Jetta Alvilde Tandberg (1904-1919):
Thorvald Martin Tandberg (1874-1970) wrote: "My daughter Thordis was in her first year in High School when she was taken ill with spinal meningitis. We had four doctors, one after the other, but no one could do anything about it. She had been ill for fourteen days when Doctor Harney told me that she would pass on about five in the morning. I had sent my wife off to bed as she was tired out and I sat with Thordis until she breathed the last. Can you imagine my torture in seeing her die and I could not help? She passed on, holding my hand while unconscious at the time, the doctor had told me. It was one of the coldest mornings during the long winter, and when I had called the Undertaker, an old friend, he came with his wife and she braided her beautiful blond locks while Mr. Nordling and I set out for Charlestown to buy a casket. I got a beautiful one, all white with white silk lining. She had many friends, both in High School as well as in the church. She belonged to the Girls Friendly Society and was very popular in the church circles where the Reverend Thatcher Kimball officiated with his assistant the Reverend Lang. I never saw such a turn out that met us at the grave. The crowd included about 100 boys and girls attending her funeral. I bought three double lots and ordered a stone engraved, as I found in her Bible these words underlined, "The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want." These words were engraved on the stone. After the service we were dazed and could not get over not having her with us. The house seemed empty without her voice and laughter. I missed her especially when I came home early, as she used to meet me at the car stop and hold my arm as we walked home. They say time heals all wounds, but in this case it never healed completely."
