From the Soldier Sentinel, March 1933.  Josephine died March 4, 1933

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 storke (sic) 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 the 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 (sic) 
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 (1933), 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 (sic), 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 Nelsen 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 righteous 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."

[Notes from Willis Hanson:  She was born on the Bjornstad place in a forest 
and by Lake Ulvikjoen on the West Nordbye farm in Aurskog (Urskog was an old 
spelling and the name of a fort protecting Norway from Sweden), Norway.  Her 
more probable date of emigration with the family was in 1880 rather than 
1881.  Holstein died December 23, 1943
