Wi Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/PierceObits/10058 Surname: Anderson, Foldshaugmoen, Jacobson, Hogenson ------------------------- Spring Valley Sun, May 31, 1923 Thron Anderson The death of Thron Anderson, one of the old settlers of Spring Lake, came as a great shock to the whole community. Last Wednesday morning, May 23, he died as is told in another place in the paper. The funeral was held from the home and the Spring Lake Lutheran Church Saturday, May 26, 1923. Rev. Berven officiating, burial made in Spring Lake Cemetery. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Foldshaugmoen December 21, 1840, at Foldalen, Norway. He came to this country in July 1870, settling at first in Menomonie. Nov. 15, 1880, he bought a farm in Spring Lake Township, and moved there in June of the following year. About a month prior to this he married Marit Jacobson. [Marriage was in March 1879 - RHW] To them six children were born, of whom four survive, Albert and Louie at home; Milton, married to Clara Hogenson and at present living with her mother on their old home farm in Spring Lake; and Selmer, who lives in Minneapolis. All were present at the funeral. Besides these he is survived by his wife and four grandchildren. >From same issue of Spring Valley Sun: Old Man Killed in Fall from a Fence Thron Anderson, aged 84, who lived with his sons Albert, Milton and Louis in Spring Lake, was killed last Wednesday, probably by falling from a fence. That morning he had expressed a desire to walk to Elmwood, a distance of about a mile in a straight line over the hill. Because of his feeble condition his sons objected. However, as soon as they were at work he started, going over the hill and reaching town all right. When he started back, he felt shakey and told someone that he was afraid he couldn't get back that same way. So he walked up the Spring Valley road as far as the old place, then started up the hill, and was never seen alive again. He didn't come home, and his sons telephoned. A number of Elmwood men went to search for him, but failed to find him. Finally, his sons found him dead. He was lying near a fence, which it is thought he tried to climb, but fell off among some stones. His nose was battered into his head, one hand was badly battered, and the ground was torn up and disturbed as if by a struggle. Mr. Anderson has been feeble for some time, but was able to be about; he was also somewhat childish, but always knew what he was doing; he was not lost at the time of the accident. The way he tried to go is one which he had not used for years, and would make a man half his age dig in to climb.

On April 16th of the same year she was baptized in the Spring Lake Lutheran church by Rev. Paul Moen. The few years that little Carol was permitted to remain here in her earthly home she enjoyed the best of health and her sweet and cheerful disposition was a constant source of joy and happiness, not only to her parents, but also to her many friends and relatives. Suddenly and with almost no warning she was taken seriously ill with pneumonia and after a few days it became apparent that chances of her recovery were very slight. Although she suffered a great deal at times, she never complained with as much as a word. Friday evening, April 11, she died. Just a few minutes before she passed away she opened her eyes and stretched out her arms to her dear ones, as if to beckon them to her. Then quietly and peacefully, like a child going to sleep in its mothers arms, her spirit left the weary body and went to Him who has said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Berven, were held at the home and the Spring Lake Church Monday afternoon. Misses Jessie Gaarden and Lois OBrien sang a couple of duets at the home, accompanied by Mrs. Ralph Condit, and at the church special singing was furnished by the congregational choir. The body was laid to rest in the Spring Lake cemetery. Contributed by Joe Waddell Link: Pierce County WIGenWeb Project URL: <http://www.rootsweb.com/~wipierce/>

Hello: The Civil War gleanings are completely finished. YAY! Am going to being typing on a small history that was sent to me by another project coordinator. It is the 1857 history written by Oliver Gibbs and CE Young. Hope to have this done soon, too. Doesn't have much in the way of biographies, as the other histories have, but does give a nice little insight into the county not too long after it was formed. If you haven't already donated to the 1900 Federal census project and would like to do so, please see the "What's New" or "Census" links on the main page for instructions and links to do so. We only need 16 more and it will be ordered! Thanks to all those who have already donated! Debbie Barrett County Coordinator Pierce County WIGenWeb Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~wipierce/
