"KENSETT KOININGS.
J. Theo. Medin and Misses Minnie Klinefelter and Nettie Paulson, are three of Kensett's good representatives at the Teachers' Institute.
Miss Emeline Iverson, one of Kensett's best and most worthy young ladies, was in Northwood Monday afternoon between trains. She had purposed attending the Institute from the beginning, but the sudden death of her grandmother compelled a postponement of her joining until later.
Mrs. Elsie Iverson, mother of Peter Iverson of Kensett, was found dead in her home Sunday afternoon. The old lady, who was about eighty-two years of age, had lived alone for some time and had been in good health. It is presumed she was seized with a sudden and violent attack of illness, some time during the previous night, as when found she was lying on the floor upon a pile of disarranged bedclothing, as though death had been preceded by convulsions. Her mortal remains were laid at rest yesterday afternoon, Rev. L. O. Pederson officiating at the ceremonies."
-------------------------------
There is a verse on Else's grave, translated by a cousin from Norway: "All worldly things come to an end / I to glory arise / When God to the tune of trumpets / Calls me to eternal delight."
