                  Funeral Rites For Miss A. Gullikson

Resident of Bristol Township, 65 Years, dies of Pneumonia After Short Illness
Funeral services for Miss Anna Gullikson were held last Thursday afternoon at
Somber Synod Lutheran church in Bristol township, preceded by a brief prayer
service at her home two miles south of that church, where she had lived for
65 years. Burial was in the cemetery adjoining the church. The Rev. J. Madson,
pastor of the Somber congregation, officiated at the rites.

Miss Gullikson died Tuesday, Feb. 5, at her home. She was 85 years old on Jan.
19 of this year and shortly after her birthday anniversary she was stricken
with pneumonia. She weakened rapidly and her illness, complicated with a
heart weakness, resulted in her death.

She was born Jan. 19, 1861, in Telemarken, Norway, the daughter of Gullik
and Aslaug Gullikson. Five years later, in 1866, she left her home country
together with her mother and three brothers. They settled in Worth county
where Anna spent the remainder of her long life, the last 65 years on her
farm home.

She was the last survivor of her immediate family and of her near relatives
she left only two nephews and three nieces, all children of her brother,
Anon. They are Albert Gullikson, Blue Earth, Minn.; Gilbert Gullikson, of
Worth county; Mrs. Lena Jacobson, Minneapolis, Minn.; Mrs. Minnie Han,
Charles City; Mrs. Clara Herd, Flint, Mich.

After the death of her mother in 1926, Miss Gullikson lived alone until
three years ago when her nephew Gilbert and his wife moved to her farm
home and looked after her welfare. She was a charter member of the Somber
Lutheran church.
