following an illness of eight weeks.  A resident of this city for the past 
three years he had previously lived at Hixton.  He enjoyed a wide 
acquaintance.  Funeral services were held Friday at 3 PM at the Jackson Co-op 
Funeral Home, conducted by the Rev. Raymond P. Huss.  The song service was 
given by Mrs. M.H. Moen, who sang "Den Store Hvide Flok" and Hark - Hark My 
Soul.  Flowers were carried by three granddaughters, Audrey Larson, Mrs. 
Wentworth Berg, and Sonja Lovelien, and one niece, Mrs. Paul Lovelien.  
Pallbearers were four grandsons, Wallace Larson, David Larson, Wentworth Berg, 
Raymond Bock, and two nephews, Cahl (Carl?) Haralsrud, and Ernest

Riverside.  Martin Lovelien was born in Sondre Land, Norway, Feb. 2, 1870.  He 
came to America in 1904 and settled first in Northfield, where his sister 
lived, accompanied by his wife, Johanna Nesbakken whom he married March 9, 
1890, in Hoff, Sondre Land, Norway.  They lived in Hixton for many years, 
where he farmed and also had a shoe repair and harness shop.  Three years ago 
they moved to this city, occupying a home next to their daughter, Mrs. William
