MRS. E. M. LUNDIEN DIED IN ILLINOIS MARCH 21
One of Dayton's Prominent Women In Early Days
Word came to relatives in Dayton Sunday morning that Mrs. E. M. (Fern) Lundien had passed away late Saturday afternoon in Danville, Illinois, where she had been making her home with her daughter, Miss Bernice Lundien. Death came quite suddenly, we are informed, but Mrs. Lundien had lived a full life of near 88 years. Many were grieved and saddened by the death of their good friend. Burial was made in the family lot in Dayton yesterday (Wednesday) forenoon.
Mrs. Lundien was one of Dayton's early teachers and was principal for several years. Her life was spent in the service to others, unselfish, always kind, and with rare good humor. Among her constructive duties in Dayton was the organization of the Dayton High School Alumni Association and the Dayton Woman's Club. She was also superintendent of the Methodist Sunday School and taught several of the classes there. She was called upon often in those days for guidance and she was always happy to share her wisdom.
The writer has always considered it a privilege to have known Mrs. Lundien. She was our Sunday School Teacher, and entertained our group many times in her home in Dayton, where Mrs. Claude Anderson lives at the present time. Probably no one else knows that, as a little boy, we brought our troubles to her, and felt much better after listening to her words of advice. She was the most understanding person we have ever known. We have lost a fine personal friend and Dayton has lost a sincere and loyal citizen.
OBITUARY
FERN WOODARD LUNDIEN
Fern Woodard Lundien was born in Rockford, Minnesota, on November 12, 1865. She passed away in Danville, Illinois on March 21, 1953.
In 1870 she moved with her parents to Fort Dodge, where she lived until she graduated from High School in 1885.

Bjork of Lehigh; Mrs. Lloyd Lang of Fort Dodge; Miss Gwendolyn Woodard of Chicago; Miss Margaret Lumpkin of Crookston, Minnesota; Mrs. Kenneth McGrew of Muncie, Indiana; Miss Neta Smith of Miami, Florida; Mr. Earl Fredrickson of Dayton. She has had the unusual experience of knowing seven generations of her family. Her great grandparents lived in her childhood home, and she has known the children of one of her grand nieces. Mrs. Lundien organized the Dayton Alumni Association, she organized the Woman's Club of Dayton, and has been active in church and community activities wherever she lived. She carried on an active correspondence with dozens of friends from one end of the country to the other. In Danville, she was a member of St. James Methodist Church and of the Governor Bradford Chapter of the D.A.R., having also belonged to the Fort Dodge and Webster City D.A.R. Chapters. She has the highest standards of conduct and Christian character, so tempered with humor and affection that all those who came in contact with her wished to do and be their best.
