Obituary in Hoffman (MN) Advocate -- Feb. l7, 1906:

CALLED HOME
Miss Tillie Thorsted, of Swan Lake, Dies at the age of 28 years.
It becomes our sad day this week to chronicle the death of Miss Tillie 
Thorstad which occurred at the home of her sister, Mrs. Erick Sletten 
Saturday morning, Feb. 10th.  Her death was due to a chronic stomach 
trouble from which she has been suffering for over a year.
Deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peder O. Thorstad of Swan Lake 
township, and was born on April 29th, 1878 therefore 28 years of age.  She 
was a young lady of estimable traits of character, and was held high in 
the esteem by her many friends in Swan Lake where she was born and 
raised.
Besides the parents the deceased is survived by four sisters and three 
brothers, viz: Mrs. H. O. Aamot, Farwell; Mrs. Erick Sletten, Hoffman; 
Mrs. E. A. Bjelde, Mayville, N. D.; Mrs.l A. Amundson, Bangor, Wis.; 
Albert Thorstad, Erdahl; and Olous and Ole who reside at home.  All the 
sisters and brothers with exception of Mrs. Amundson were present at her 
bedside and funeral.  
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at the home of the deceased and 
at the Norwegian Luth. Church in Scandia.  The funeral was conducted by 
Rev. Torwick, of Morris.  He preached a very eloquent sermon, paying high 
tribute to deceased.
The sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved parents and family.
