Andersen)

	Harry W. Christianson, 54, who spent his entire life in the Soldier 
community until he moved the Kingsley six years ago, died at the Lutheran 
hospital in Sioux City Thursday.  Harry’s untimely death came after nearly a 
year of illness.  He spent several days in the hospital a few months back but 
had been up and around until he was taken back to the hospital two weeks ago.  
He had attended his father’s funeral in Soldier August 18th.

civic undertaking.
	Harry was a friendly person and enjoyed life to the utmost.  His many 
friends mourn his death.

Saturday, September 23 with Pastor Albert Lehman of Soldier in charge.  Rev. 
Paul P. Jackson, Congregational minister of Kingsley assisted Pastor Lehman.  
The Dickison Funeral Home of Kingsley had charge of arrangements.  Interment
