Mrs. Holstein Wingate Dies

	Mrs. H. A. Wingate passed away at her home in Soldier early Saturday 
morning following a few days serious illness from a paralytic stroke and heart 
failure.  Mrs. Wingate was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Hanson and 
had lived practically all of her life in or near Soldier.  She was prominent 
in church and community affairs and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn 
her departure.
	Services were conducted for Mrs. Holstein Wingate on Monday afternoon, 
from the home at 1:30 p.m. and from Soldier Lutheran town church at 2:00 
p.m.   Rev. O. B. Anderson of Onawa officiated.
	Mrs. Holstein Wingate (nee Josephine Matilda Hanson) was born in 
Ursko, Norway, May 11, 1870.  After a brief illness, consisting of heart 
attack, followed by a stroke, she slept away in the Lord at 1:30 a.m. Saturday 
morning, March 4th, at the age of 62 years, 9 months, and 21 days.
	Mrs. Wingate was baptized as an infant into the Lutheran faith.  She 
renewed this covenant with God thru confirmation at the Soldier Lutheran 
church.  She lived this faith and went to sleep trusting in the Lord as her 
redeemer.
	In the spring of 1881, Mrs. Wingate came to this country from Norway 
and settled in Soldier where she made her home.  In March 1894 she was united 
in marriage to Mr. Holstein Wingate.  They were blessed with three children, 
one son, Lyman J of Soldier; and two daughters, Mrs. Bennett Lee of Mapleton, 
Iowa, and Mrs. Hjalmer Nelson of Soldier, who together with the husband mourn 
her departure.  There are two sisters, Mrs. F. J. Whittemore of Minneapolis, 
Minnesota, Mrs. T. S. Thoreson, of Soldier, Iowa, and one brother, Carl J. 
Hanson of Soldier who survive.  There are eight grandchildren.  These together 
with many relatives and friends mourn her departure, but who thank God that 
she fought the good fight of faith and has won the crown of life.  Blessed be 
her memory.  “The righeous(sic) shall enter into eternal life.”
	“Behold the host arrayed in white,
	Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright,
	With palms they stand-Who are this band
	Before the throne of light?
	These are the ransomed throng, the same
	That from the tribulation came
	And in the flood of Jesus blood
	Are cleansed from guilt and shame.”
