Tollefson, Syver							
			1909

Glenwood Herald – February 1909 from the collection of Ada Wingate Norby

The Hoff correspondent chronicles the death of one of the pioneers of the 
southwestern part of the county, Syver Tollefson. He passed away last 
Saturday, February 20 after a long and lingering siege of cancer in the 
stomach. Mr. Tollefson was about fifty four years old at the time of his death.
He was born in Valdres, Norway in July 3, 1855. He was married to Miss 
Ingeborg Swenson. The family came to this country twenty years ago and settled 
in the town of Blue Mounds, where they continued to reside until a few years 
ago when they moved to their farm in Hoff Township.
Mr. Tollefson is survived by his wife and six children, Tollef, Syver, Mrs. 
Clifgard, Knut, Edwin and Ole.
Funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon by Rev. Chr. Pederson, 
with interment at the West Zion Church. The bereaved family have the sympathy 
of their numerous friends in the loss of a kind husband and father.


Additional Comments:
Ingeborg Swenson was sister to Andrew Swenson
