HILDA PAULSON 1919



Death of Miss Hilda Paulson at Her Home in Eden

(Gully Advance, September 12, 1919, p1)



  DIED- at her home in Eden at 5:45 p.m. Sunday, September 7, 1919, 

Miss Hilda Maria Paulson, beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Paulson, 

aged 27 years, six months, and one day - her death being due to heart 

disease.  When about 17 - Miss Hilda was operated on for appendicitis, 

and while she survived the operation in fairly good condition, 

nevertheless she never fully recovered her former good health and 

strength, and from time to time since that unlucky date in her cheerful, 

useful life, deceased had subject to heart disease, on some occasions 

light, while at other times still more serious.  Her last severe illness 

from the dread disease was only one week's duration, when death brought 

her pain and sufferings to an end on date as above stated.  All the care 

and love that skilled hands and an anxious household could devise and 

supply for her comfort and assistance were brot into play, but the will 

of Him who rules our incomings and outgoings had been issued, and after a 

brief struggle, and despite the prayers and entreaties of all who knew 

and loved her, their appeals were overruled, and when the beautiful 

Sunday evening's sun was going down on the horizon, the sufferer's spirit 

took its flight to that home which the Christian believes is the 

fulfillment of life everlasting.

	While Hilda's journey of life was short - however, her path was 

marked with deeds of kindness and cheer.  Flowers, not thorns - sunshine, 

not black clowds, did she scatter everywhere.  Truth and uprightness were 

the inspirations of her being.  Was not her life and the good points she 

exemplified its great worth ?  Her last words were expressive in peace 

with Christ, the Redeemer of the world, with whom she had often prayed to 

and was a faithful believer in, and no doubt she found hope and 

inspiration in the words: "Though I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow 

of Death, I Will Fear No Evil; For Thou Art with Me; Thy Rod and The 

Staff They Comfort Me."  Thus closed the life of this noble young woman.

	The funeral services were held on Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock at 

the house, and 3 o'clock in the Gully church, Rev. Stensgaard, 

efficiating, giving a high tribute to the memory of the deceased.  The 

casket was covered with the most beautiful floral designs from loving 

hands, all of which spoke of peace, purity, and immortality.  Besides the 

parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Paulson, to mourn Hilda's sad death, are four 

sisters.  Mrs. Hoveland of Leonard, Mrs. Bagne of Gonvick, and Misses 

Gladys and Myrtle, and two brothers Clifford and Manly.



"She fought the fight, she kept the faith.

Her name shines bright and clear,

And her memory lives in all our hearts

Which we will hold forever dear"
