OBITUARY OF JAMES PETERSON


The report that James Peterson was killed Friday night was proved to be only too true. The fatal accident did not take place on the steam loader, as at first reported, but at the N.W.L. Co.'s Mill Pond, where the unfortunate young man was engaged in unloading cars. It seems that Jim was turning a log towards him when he slipped and fell, the log passing over his body.

 

The funeral was held in Stanley at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, the interment in the Lutheran cemetery in this town following. The deceased was an honest, sober, industrious young man, the only son of Mrs. Nels Michelson of Stanley and a nephew of Mrs. Solon Larson, wife of our worthy town treasurer. He was married in June, 1902, to Alice M. Baker of this place, who, with the other relatives mentioned is left to mourn his early departure, and to whom the sympathy of the entire community is extended in this their hour of sorrow.
