Rites Held for Mattie Larson

Funeral services were held Thursday for Mrs. Mattie Larson, Swaburg resident for nearly half a century, whose death occurred at her home on Sunday evening, April 18, following a lengthy illness. The recessional service at the Wollmer & Warne Funeral Chapel in Hooper was followed with the formal service at the Elim Lutheran church in Swaburg. The officiating pastor, Rev. Drell E. Bernhardson, spoke words of comfort from the text, "Let not your heart be troubled". Mrs. Bernhardson and Miss Luella Sampson sang two of Mrs. Larson's favorite hymns, "Rock of Ages" and "In the Sweet By and By". Mrs. Alvis Petersen presided at the organ. Interment was in the family plot in the church cemetery. Pallbearers were Harold and Orville Bergquist, Hans Larsen, Julian Lindgren, Ernest Strand and Carroll Johnson. In tribute to the memory of Mrs. Larson, memorial donations were given by the Elim Lutheran Ladies Aid Society and by friends and neighbors to the Bethphage Mission at Axtell and to the Elim Lutheran Memorial fund, and by the Uehling American Legion and Uehling friends to the Uehling Memorial Auditorium fund. The beautiful floral offerings and the large attendance at the service also bore testimony to the esteem in which the departed one was held.

As Mattie Gesina Stover, daughter of John Henry Stover and Anna
Marie Gererdson, the deceased was born March 15, 1870, in the
community of Dodge county then known as Logan. She was baptized and confirmed by Rev. Fricke in the St. Paul Lutheran church. On March 23, 1893, she was united in marriage at West Point to Oliver O. Larson, prominent Logan township resident. They established their home on a farm in Cuming township, Burt county, where they resided until 1903, when they moved to the present home in Swaburg. Mr. Larson passed away on December 25, 1927. Mrs. Larson was a member of the Elim Lutheran church at Swaburg and an honorary member of the Elim Ladies Aid Society, in which organization she had spent many years of active and faithful service. A good friend and neighbor, she will ever be remembered for her many deeds of kindness and the friendly hospitality of her home. She was aged 78 years, 1 month and 3 days.

She leaves to mourn her passing, seven children: Mrs. Gertrude
Conklin, of Craig, Walter Larson, of Uehling, Mrs. Harry Wagner, of
Swaburg, John Larson, of Craig, and Mrs. Carl Meyer, Mrs. Herman G. Popken and Elmer Larson, of Scribner, also eight grandchildren,
Karen and Linda Larson, Harry and Duane Wagner, Kay Meyer, Kent Popken and Dean and Diane Larson. Surviving her also are two aged brothers, John Stover, of El Reno, Okla., and Henry Stover, of Scribner. Besides her husband and parents, a sister also preceded her in death.hhw
