Arlington Times September 12, 1908

Knute Bendickson died at the Norgar ranch, Bryant, on the 7th.  Instant of 
chronic diabetes; burial at Harwood Cemetery on Wednesday.  He was the father 
of Mrs. Norgar and lived in Ontario, Canada.  Rev. Jones conducted the funeral.

Mr. and Mr. Rev. E. House of Seattle were up to attend the funeral of Knute

Additional Comments:
Knut was born in Vestre Slidre, Oppland, Norway.  He emigrated to Wisconsin in 
1870 and married Barbra Nilsdatter Saelid in 1871.  Knut had gained some 
renown in playing the Hardanger Fiddle (A Norwegian Violin).  From Wisconsin 
they moved to Minnesota.  They had 6 children: Ida, Christine, Caroline, 
Bennet, Knut and Nellie.  Most of these children moved to Washington in the 
early 1900's. Barbra remained in Minnesota when Knut moved to Washington.
Instead of "Mr. and Mr. Rev. E. House" the obituary should read, Mr. and Mrs. 
Ralph E. House.  Knut is buried in the Arlington Municipal Cemetery, Snohomish 
Co. (formerly Harwood Cemetery) next to his daughter, Ida Norgar.
