G. Strom, Kathryn; Ms. Ingrid Ekern, Beulah, ND.Engebret, as he was known and called by all who knew him, was a person with a cheerful personality, meeting his friends with a smile and almost always trying to play little harmless jokes on them. He was held in high esteem by his fellow townsmen and will be greatly missed by them, but not near as much as his four surviving daughters.Funeral services were held both in the church here in Kathryn and at the Waldheim Church east of town, Wednesday afternoon, July 22. Rev. Mykland the regular Waldheim pastor, officiated, assisted by Rev. Bue of Kathryn. His earthly remains were laid to rest the family lot, beside his wife and son in the Waldheim Cemetery.The pallbearers were his old boyhood friends: Holstien Olsberg and Oral Rue of Valley City, and Rasmus Olsberg, Ole B.
