WILLIAM BENGTSON PASSES AWAY
William Bengtson was born October 2, 1879 at the home of his parents at Swedeburg. He was Baptized November 2, 1879 and Confirmed May 5, 1895 in the Swedeburg Lutheran Church. He remained a faithful member of this church. In this church heo served as a trustee and treasurer. He remained with his parents until he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Johnson of Ithaca, Nebraska on April 3, 1907, when he moved to his own place one half miles from the parental home and has resided there until his death.
This marriage was blessed with a son and a daughter who were called upon to mourn the loss of a devoted mother, succumbing to flu pneumonia on January 23, 1919. Mr. Benson was now left to mother his motherless children. In the year 1921 he maed Alfreda Swanson. She has ably fulfilled her duty as a wife and mother, and to her has now been left the duty of taking both a mother's and father's place.
Loving hands did all they could and best care was engaged for him, but if he had not received strength from an unseen power, he could never have born such patience his incessant suffering.
He leaves to mourn a devoted wife, a son Dwain, a daughter Florence, four sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Olof Pearson, Wahoo, Mrs. C. H. Brodd, Ceresco, Mrs. Augustine Erickson, Ceresco, Mrs. Levin Trued, Kirkland, Illinois, August Bengtson,deburg, Emil Bengtson, Wahoo, and other relatives and a host of friends.
