Jorgenson, Amelia Bredecker (???? - 9 DEC 1941)

FORMER SPENCER RESIDENT DIES AT COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA.

The following communication was received Monday of this week and will probably be of interest to residents of Spencer:  "Mrs. Amelia Bredecker Jorgensen, who spent her childhood in Spencer, passed away December 9, 1941, in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  Her last wish is being carried out by her relatives, that her remains be cremated and her ashes scattered among the trees and flowers of her beloved state, in the summer when it is in its greatest beauty.  Nostalgia for her native state prompted her to make this request.  Mr. Jorgensen had traveled extensively, throughout the Orient and many foreign countries, but her heart ever was with her beautiful Wisconsin.  Mrs. Barbara Bredecker and family."
