Mrs. Johanna Shoquist Dies at Chisago City
Old Age Claims Another of Remaining Settlers At Old People's Home on Tuesday

Old age and feebleness caused the death of another of the old 
settlers of this vicinity when Mrs. Johanna Christina shoquist, 
mother of Mrs. A. T. malmberg of Lindstrom, passed away at the Old 
People's Home in Chisago City at the age of 83 years, after an 
illness of two week's duration.

Death came peacefully to the aged lady on Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 
o'clock in the presence of four of her children who had gathered at 
her bedside. She first became ill about two weeks ago, afflicted with 
no defined disease, and gradually weakened until the end came. Mrs. 
Shoquist was well known and respected throughout the Chisago City 
community as a faithful christian and loyal worker of the Swedish 
Lutheran chruch, of which she was a member since 1882.

Mrs. Johanna Christina Shoquist was born at Nottaback, Kronobergs 
län, Sweden, on December 24, 1842, and thus at hear death was 83 
years and 4 days. She was united in marriage in Sweden on New Year's 
Eve 1861, to Swen Shoquist, who passed away in 1914. The marriage was 
blessed with ten children: five of whom survive, two children having 
died in infancy and three after reaching maturity. She came to 
America with her family in 1882 and settled in Chisago City, where 
she made her home to the time of her death.

Her funeral service will be conducted at the Old People's Home at 
Chisago City at 10:30 a.m. on Friday morning, and from the Swedish 
Lutheran church of Chisago City at 11:30, Rev. C. E. Slatt 
officiating. The interment will be made at the West Green lake 
cemetery.

Left to mour her departure are three daughters, Mrs. A. T. Malmberg 
of Lindstrom, Mrs. Wm. P. Carlson of Minneapolis, and Mrs. E. E. 
Linnell of St. Paul; two sons, Andrew and Olaf Shoquist, both of 
Minneapolis, fourteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, 
besides a large circle of relatives and friends.

The Press joins with a large number of friends in extending sympathy 
to the bereaved.
