"Mrs. James Alstad dies at Spokane
Death occurred suddenly Wednesday night while visiting at Son's home in Washington.
The many friends of Mrs. James Alstad will be grieved to hear of her death, which occured Wednesday night, March 30, at the home of her son, Fred Huerlin, at Spokane, Wash., where she was visiting. Mrs. Alstad had been ailing for several years from heart trouble and her death came suddenly and quietly Wednesday evening.
It is thought that the body will be brought here for funeral services and burial, but definite arrangements had not been completed as we went to press yesterday.
Mrs. Alstad was 68 years of age at the time of death. She came to Cloquet about 30 years ago and has made a large circle of friends here. She was a member of the Zion Swedish Lutheran church and an interested worker in ladies aid activities.
She leaves her husband; two sons and two daughters: Fred, of Spokane, and Clarence, Mrs. N.J. Thorpe, and Miss Hazel Alstad, of Cloquet. A sister, Mrs. Thomas Hanson, of Walnut, Ill., also survives."

"Joint funeral rites for Cloquet couple.
Mr. and Mrs. James Alstad laid to rest in Hillcrest Cemetery Tuesday, April 5.
An unusual tragedy occurred in Cloquet Saturday evening when James Alstad, well known pioneer resident, passed beyond just three days after the death of his wife, who died on Wednesday night at the home of her son, Fred Huerlin, at Spokane, Wash. The shock upon hearing of his wife's death and his failing health were pronounced as the cause of Mr. Alstad's death.

For many years he was engaged in the grocery and meat market business in Cloquet, and became one of the most well known pioneer residents of this city. He was a member of the Scandinavion Fraternity of America, and of the Woodmen of the World. He was 76 years of age, at the time of his death, being born in Norway in 1851.

She left here the latter part of December to visit with her son, and seek different climate for her health, as she had been ailing for several years. Mrs. Alstad had a host of friends in Cloquet, as she was a most congenial character and well liked by all who knew her. She was an active member of the Zion Swedish Lutheran church and of the ladies aid in that church.
The body of Mrs. Alstad arrived here Monday evening, accompanied by her son, Fred on Tuesday, April 5, double funeral rites were held at the Alstad home at 89 Eighth street, and at the Zion church.
