                     Isabelle Lundene Jeglum

Mrs. Isabelle Jeglum, a former resident of Mitchell County, died January
28th, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Gilbert Williams, in Long Beach,
California.  She was 79 years, 11 months and 1 day of age.  Mrs. Jeglum
had enjoyed good health until a week before her death, which was due to
a heart ailment.

The body was brought back to Osage, and funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. O.C. Myhre at the Rock Creek Lutheran church on February 23rd
at 2 p.m.  Interment was made beside her departed husband and children
in the Rock Creek Lutheran cemetery.

Guline Ingeborg (Isabelle) Lundene was born in Springdale, Dane County,
Wisconsin, on February 27, 1851 to Anders Knutsen Lundene and Olia
Knutsdatter Thoen Lundene.  The years of her childhood and youth were
spent in the parental home.  Immediately after her marriage to Ole
T. Jeglum of Springdale, WI, they moved to Clay County, MN.  In 1873
they came to Floyd County, Iowa where her mother and brothers had
settled.  There they bought a farm in Rudd Township.

After her husband’s death on March 31, 1889, she operated the farm
with the help of her children for about two years.  Leaving the
farm, she bought a home in St. Ansgar, Iowa where she lived until
1910.  She then moved to Adams, ND to be near her sons.  Since then
she has made her home with her children in different places.

In her wedlock eight children were born.  Of these, the following
survive: Albert and Oliver, both of Oakland, CA; Otis of Fairdale,
ND and Clarence of Adams, ND; and Mrs. G.E. (Tilda) Williams of Long
Beach, CA.

She also leaves one brother, Christopher Lundene of Mitchell, Iowa
and nineteen grandchildren.
