CHARLES AXELSON, 74, DIES SATURDAY

Charles Axelson passed away February 22 at his home in Magnet, at the 
age of 74 years, 28 days. He had been in failing health for several 
years, but the past month failed rapidly. On Tuesday, February 25, Mr. 
and Mrs. Axelson would have celebrated their forty-ninth wedding 
anniversary.

He was born in Lindkoping, Sweden, January 25, 1867. As a child he 
moved to the city of Norrkoping, where he lived until the age of 19, 
when he came to Minneapolis, Minn., and soon after came to Oakland, 
NE and became a citizen of this country.

He was united in marriage to Bertha Johnson February 25, 1892 at 
Tekamah, NE and to this union were born five children. They were 
residents of Burt County until 1911 when they moved to a farm he 
had purchased northwest of Randolph. He had lived near Randolph 
until they sold their farm and moved to Magnet in 1934. In 1920 he 
had the great pleasure of making a visit to his homeland to see his 
aging mother, father, brothers and sister.

In the fall of 1922 he met some of the Lord’s Servants and made his 
choice to serve the Lord. He was very faithful to his belief and even 
though gone, his life speaks. Mr. Axelson was a man of quiet dignity, 
honesty, and charm, a character worthy of the deepest respect.

Besides his wife and children he leaves two brothers Phillip and David 
of Norrkoping, Sweden and a host of relatives and friends. Impressive 
funeral

Services were conducted Tuesday afternoon from the home by Blanche 
Harstsock, minister of the gospel and interment made in the Magnet 
Cemetery.
