From the Rossland Miner of Saturday November 23, 1918 (P4C5):
CARL G. FRANSEN DIES IN HOSPITAL
Young Man Who Volunteered as a Nurse and Worked So FaithfullY, Succumbs to "Flu."
The death of Carl G. Fransen, a young Swedish miner, who, when the influenza epidemic broke out here, came from the Velvet mine with his brother Arnid and another young companion and volunteered in nursing the sick at the Sisters' hospital, succumbed to the ravages of the disease at the hospital Sunday night at 11:45 o'clock.
Young Fransen's case was a sad one. He had worked most industriously with his companions in doing everything he could to aid the sufferers, was a fine specimen of physical manhood, but when the disease attacked him he was so exhausted from the long hours he had devoted to the care of others, that he soon succumbed, being ill only a few days although everything possible was done to save his life.
Deceased was born in Sweden, was 28 years of age and came to Rossland about ten months ago, working in the mines here and when the Velvet mine began operations was employed at that mine until operations ceased for the winter months, being considered a hard worker and a clean living young man.
Deceased is survived by a brother, Arnid, also a miner, who resides in this city.
The funeral was held Wednesday, interment being in Sunnyside cemetery, many of the young man's friends attending.
