ANNE SERINE JACKSON NORBO ULVESTAD
1918---Mrs. L. O. Ulvestad
   As a blessed surcease from suffering, death came to Mrs. Anna Ulvestad 
at the family home at 3:10 o'clock last Sunday morning. (1918)  Mrs. 
Ulvestad's illness has covered a period of about seven years being cancer 
of the spine.  At all times she has received the most devoted care by her 
children and everything humanly possible had been done to relieve her 
sufferings.
   The maiden name of the deceased was Anna Serine Jackson, and she was 
born September 9, 1851, in Dane County, Wisconsin, near the city of 
Madison.  When she was five years of age the family removed to Fillmore 
County, Minnesota, where she grew to young womanhood and was united in 
wedlock to Lewis O. Ulvestad in April, 1871.
   Immediately following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Ulvestad located 
on a farm in Rosendale township, this county, and prospered there.  Mr. 
Ulvestad's death occurred May 14, 1900, after which the widow removed to 
Madelia and this village has continued ever since to be her home.
   Mrs. Ulvestad's passing is mourned by her children and is sincerely 
regretted by a very wide circle of devoted friends.  She was a woman of 
fine temperament and high intelligence, a devoted wife and mother and a 
good friend and neighbor.  In her active years she found her greatest 
joy and satisfaction in her home, ministering to her family.
   The surviving members of the family are ten children.  They are:  Dr. 
Oliver Ulvestad of Chicago; Isaac Ulvestad of Woodside, Montana, Albert 
Ulvestad of Lake City, Iowa; Rev. Arnold O. Ulvestad of Spokane, 
Washington; Mrs. Clara Nelson of Madelia; Carl Ulvestad of Amenia, North 
Dakota; Dr. George Ulvestad of Chicago, Miss Agnes, Reuben and Edwin 
Ulvestad of Madelia.  The three last named and Oliver, George and Albert 
Ulvestad were here for the funeral.
   Funeral services were held from the home at 1 o'clock and at the West
Lutheran church at 1:30 on Tuesday afternoon, and services were also held 
at the Rosendale church at 3 o'clock.  Interment was at the Rosendale
cemetery.
