Gust Hultgren Dies; Gardener of County

Happy Corners - Gust Hultgren, who has made his home at the County Farm since 1935, passed away at that institution Sunday, April 27, following an illness of but a few days. He was born in Sweden, February 24, 1857, coming to this country some years later, and working in Chicago. Later he came to Clark County where he lived and worked for many years on the M. C. Thomas farm near Shortville. Mr. Hultgren had been married and is survived by several nephews in Chicago, Evanston and Lake Geneva. Caring for the large garden at the county farm was work he enjoyed and the fine crops of vegetables he harvested were proof of his skill as a gardener.
