'The Littlefork Times' 1940
Mrs. Christ Kjemperud 1893-1940
The many friends of Mrs. Christ Kjemperud were deeply shocked on 
Sunday June 9, 1940, by the news of her sudden death early that morning, 
at the Littlefork hospital. Mrs. Kjemperud had been in poor health since 
the first of the year, and had been in the hospital for three days 
previous to her death, which occurred as a result of a heart attack.
Caroline Forsberg was born in McIntosh, Minnesota, on May 1, 1893, and 
was 47 years, 1 month and 9 days old when she passed away. She was the 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peder Forsberg, and spent her childhood in 
McIntosh and Fosston, coming to the Littlefork community to live in 1909, 
and settling in Cross River, where she has since made her home.
In 1910 she was married to Ingvald Bratten, and three children were born 
to them, Mr. Bratten died in June 1914; in October, 1916, Mrs. Bratten 
was wed to Christian H. Kjemperud, to which union were born five children.
Mrs. Kjemperud is survived by her father and stepmother, Mr. and Mrs. 
Peder Forsberg, of Fosston; eight children - Mrs. Louis P. Anderson; 
Alvin Bratten; Carl, Henry, Palmer, Margaret and Alma Kjemperud, all 
of Littlefork; Peder Bratten, of Indus; eight grandchildren; a brother, 
Nick Forsberg, of Fergus Falls; a half-brother, Palmer Forsberg, of 
Fosston; four sisters - Mrs. Gust Carlberg, Brainerd; Mrs. Frank Withey, 
Grand Forks, No. Dak.; Mrs. W. F. Leader and Mrs. Ole Flakne, of Archer, 
Mont.; and two half-sisters, - Mrs. Alice Nyhus, of Fossston, and Mrs. 
Orville Ose, of Erskine.
Among those from out-of-town present at the funeral services were the 
deceased woman's stepmother, Mrs. Peder Forsberg; her half-sister, Mrs. 
Alice Nyhus, and a cousin, Oscar Peterson, all of Fosston, and many 
friends.
Funeral services were conducted at the Littlefork Lutheran church at 
2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, June 11 by Rev R. O. Evans, of 
International Falls, in the absence of the pastor, Rev. Edmund Beaver. 
Pallbearers were I.J. Lee, Martin Hoff, Ole Klefstad, Erick Schroeder, 
Fred Larson and Roy VonAlman, all of the Littlefork community.
Appropriate music was sung by Harold Polkinghorne and the Misses Inez 
Bergstrom and Ragnhild Olson, with George D. LaMont at the piano. 
Music for the funeral procession was played by Mrs. Louis Kurdelmeier. 
The many beautiful flowers which were sent by sorrowing friends of the 
dead woman were cared for by the Misses Rosemund Lofgren, Jean Foster, 
Dorothy Hoff and Marilyn Schleppegrell. Clifford Peterson and Marvin 
Hoff, as ushers, seated those who thronged to pay their last respects.
Burial was in the Littlefork cemetery, with arrangements in charge of
