Obituary. Glenwood Herald, (Pope Co. MN) October 31, 1913.

WPA Project - sponsered by the Pope Co. Hist. Soc. December 28, 1938.

 

John Dalen, an old pioneer of Pope County died Wednesday morning at the age of seventy two years. He had been in ill health for some time and death finally ended the long period of suffering.

The deceased was born in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, and came to this country with his wife and one child, thirty-four years ago, settling on the farm which he occupied until his death. His wife died twenty years ago.

Death has deprived the community of a good old settler and a kind father, leaving in bereavement seven children, John, Sigurd and Emil who live in Canada; Mrs. H. Hanson, Martinus, Otto, and Julia who are at home.

The funeral services will be held at home and the St. Pauli church Monday. -- Lowry Union.
