  Mr. Amund Solseth, another of the old settlers of this community, and

Death resulted from an attack of pneumonia, following la grippe.
  Deceased was born in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, Jan. 6, 1826.  He grew 
to manhood in that country and was married there in 1855 to Miss Olia

Christ Johnson of Madelia, Mr. Christ Solseth of Milroy, Mr. Amond 
Solseth of Madelia, Mrs. Mons Olson of Aberdeen, S.D., Mrs. Ove Olson 
of Morristown, S.D. and Mrs. P.H. Lebak of Milroy.

County, Minn., where they took a homestead and lived until 1912.  Since 
that time Mr. and Mrs. Solseth have made their home with their daughter 
Mrs. Lebak at Milroy.  Mrs. Solseth passed away about two months ago.
