OBITUARY: Dayton Review (Dayton, Webster County, Iowa)
February 24, 1916, p 10
Carl Simon Sigfrid Wassgren was born in Hvena, Sweden, the 25th day of November 1879, baptized in Sweden, and confirmed in the Swedish Lutheran church at Harcourt on July 25th, 1894. In 1913 he withdrew his church papers from that congregation. He came with his parents and sister, Ada, to America in 1881. They first lived at Dayton, Iowa and after four years residence there they moved to Harcourt. At Minneapolis, Minnesota, he learned the photographic trade and afterwards he had his own business at Jewell Junction, Iowa for about four years. While there he was united in wedlock to Lilly Maria Waldenstrom on the 17th day of April, 1910. This union was blessed with two children of which the youngest a girl, Leela Maxine, passed away at the infant age of four months, seven days. She rests in God's Acre cemetery near Alba [Elba], Colorado. Six months after his wedding he moved with his wife to Omaha, Nebr. At South Omaha he started a business of his own in his trade. On account of failing health, he moved in July, 1912 to Denver, Colorado in the hopes of there regaining his health. During his living in the west he represented the David C. Cook publishing Co., and traveled through Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico. In company with his wife and son, he returned to Harcourt February 5, 1914. In place of regaining his health he gradually failed, and after four years of long suffering, he passed quietly and peacefully away in his parent's home February 18th, at the age of 36 years, 2 months, 23 days. He is mourned and missed by his wife and son, also by his aged parents and four sisters, besides many relatives and a host of friends.
His suffering was long and hard, but he bore it with great patience without a word of complaint. A few days before he passed away, he said to his mother that he wished to live a little longer; he wised to live a new life. He leaves an emptiness in the home. Love and peace to his memory.
Last Words:
His sister Mamie reported, "In passing from life, Carl heard pretty music. Says to those at his bedside, 'Listen;' a smile remained on his face as we laid him to rest."
