Mrs. G. Anderson Funeral Rites To Be Held Today

Funeral services for Mrs. George Anderson, of this city, who died at 5:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon [September 28, 1943] at the William Ross home, will be held at 10:00 o’clock this forenoon at St. Lawrence church, Rt. Rev. Msgr. F. P. Grabig celebrating the requiem Mass. Burial will be in St. Lawrence cemetery.

Deceased, whose maiden name was Josephine Mary Scholte [Scholtes], was born at Ellsworth, Minnesota, July 26, 1893 and had reached the age of 50 years, two months and two days. She graduated from St. Mary’s high school at that place, and taught school for a time at Manley, Iowa.

In July, 1924, deceased was united in marriage with George Anderson at Sioux City, Iowa. They resided for some time at Spirit Lake and Estherville, Iowa, and since 1928 this city had been the family home. Mrs. Anderson was taken sick about a year ago, since which time she had been a great sufferer, yet patient and uncomplaining, and with true Christian fortitude was fully resigned to God’s will. She was a sister of Mrs. P.L. Gannon, formerly of this city and now of Detroit, Michigan, and of Mrs. Wm. Ross and Mrs. Elizabeth Trevitt, of this city.

The immediate family surviving her are her husband, who is employed in a key position in the Alcan highway construction work in Canada and unable to come home for the funeral, and five children, Robert George, with the U.S. marines in the south Pacific, and Dorothy, Margaret, Eugene and Eunice, all of this city and attending school. One son preceded her in death in infancy.

Out of town relatives here to attend the funeral include Mrs. Frank Scholte and Mrs. Andrew Anderson, Estherville, Iowa; Mrs. P.L. Gannan, James Gannon and wife and Evelyn Gannon, Detroit, Michigan; Sister N. Winnefred, Ellsworth, Minnesota, Mrs. D.L. Haley, Sioux City, Iowa, and others.
