The body of Mrs. Jennie Laveen, who died at her home, Tuesday afternoon, will lie in state at the Zink Funeral Home until Saturday afternoon. Funeral services will be conducted there by Mr. Nichol Jardine of Minneapolis at 1:30. Internment will be made in the Dorchester cemetery.

Mrs. Laveen was born Jennie Thompson in Kragro, Norway, June 7, 1860. At the age of eleven she came to America with her parents who made their home at Oconomowoc for a year. They then moved to their farm in the Town of Mayville.

On Sept. 4, 1894 she was united in marriage to Nels Laveen. They made their home on their farm a mile south and two and one-half miles west of Dorchester, Wis. Twelve years ago they retired from active farming and made their home here in Abbotsford, Wis.

Mrs. Laveen was taken ill, Sunday, and never regained consciousness. Death came as the result of complications of age and a heart ailment at 2:40 o’clock, Tuesday afternoon at the home of her sister, Mrs. Helen Anderson. Mr. Laveen preceded her in death while serving his second term as village president, in July 1934.

Surviving her are a foster daughter, Elizabeth, Mrs. Bert Neuman, and her three children, Lorraine, Clifford and Betty, Merrill; an adopted son, Walter Laveen, Janesville; one sister, Mrs. Helen Anderson, Abbotsford, Wis.
