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.

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. Rev. T.T. Roan, of Our Savior's Norwegian Lutheran of this city, and Rev. Carl O. Swan, of the Swedish Lutheran church of Duluth, officiated. A vocal duet was rendered by Robert Robbested and iss Louise Swenson. The two bodies were interned in Hillcrest cemetery. Pallbearers chosen were: For Mr. Alstad, Alfred Bengtson, Pete Johnson, Joe Weselik, Edwin Erickson, Andrew Larson, John Anderson, Olaf Hortberg, John Nelson and Olaus Johnson.
Surviving the deceaseds are two sons, Fred Huerlin, of Spokane, and Clarence Alstad, of Cloquet; and two daughters, Mrs. N.J. Thorpe and Miss Hazel Alsted, also of Cloquet. Mrs. Thomas Hanson, of Walnut, Ill."
