Funeral services will be held Monday at 2 p.m., from the home and at 2:30 o'clock from the Gjerpen Lutheran church. Interment will be in the church cemetery.
Mrs. Madson, nee Inga Margaret Isaacson, was born in Gjerpen, Norway in 1851 and came to this county in 1869.
She was married to M.G. Madson in 1873. At that time Gjerpen in this county was a struggling community and settlers toiled with difficulty to build up their homes. Mr. Madson later engaged in the seed business and in 1892 the business was removed from the farm to Manitowoc, and incorporated under the name of M.G. Madson Seed company. Twenty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Madson retired and have been living in a small cottage on the homestead property. In February, 1933, Mr. and Mrs. Madson observed the 60th anniversary of their marriage.
Mrs. Madson was a charter member of the Gjerpen Ladies Aid society.
Survivors are the widower; a son, Walter, Cato; two daughters, Mrs. Theodore Anderson and Mrs. Reinhold Baruth, both of this city; a brother, Lars Isaacson, Norway; and six grandchildren.
