Mrs. Joseph Hendrickson died suddenly Friday morning at 10:50 o’clock at her home two and one-half miles west of Unity, cardiac embolism being the cause of her death. She had been ill only since Thursday night. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Trinity Lutheran church at Unity, Rev. J. A. Olson officiating, and internment was made in the parish cemetery. Grand sons acted as pall bearers and grand daughters were in charge of the flowers but several friends were also obliged to carry flowers because there were so many.
