Madelia Times-Messenger, July 16, 1909:  Death of Mrs. Martha Lunde

Mrs. Martha Lunde, one of the oldest residents of this community, 
passed away at her late home in this city, at about five o'clock 
Monday afternoon, July 12, 1909.
  Mrs. Lunde was born at Vestra Gausdal, Norway, Aug. 18, 1858, and 
on May 3, 1881, was married to Anton Lunde at Lillehammer, Norway.  
In the fall of that year they came to America locating on a farm 
near Madelia, and soon afterward moved to town.
  For about a year and a half Mrs. Lunde had been troubled off and on 
with cancer of the stomach, but was confined to her bed until April 
20, last.  Her condition has been critical for several weeks past,
but she struggled bravely against the dread disease, until last 
Monday, when she was summoned to her eternal rest.  The funeral 
services were conducted by Rev. Thompson and Rev. Morse, at the 
house at 1 o'clock and at the West Lutheran church at 2 o'clock 
and the remains were laid to rest in the West Lutheran cemetery.
  Deceased is survived by three children, Marie, Henry and Lettie, 
all of whom were present at the time of her death.  Her sisters, 
Mrs. Peter Forseth of Lake Crystal, and Mrs. Lars Halvorsen, of 
Willmar, were also present.
