Sid Sorenson ( ? - 25 May 19??)

Funeral services for Sid Sorenson, 66, former resident of this village (Dorchester, Clark Co., WI), were held Thursday, May 28, at Lake Mills. He died Monday evening, May 25, in a Madison hospital following surgery.
Mr. and Mrs. Sorenson and family lived here about 13 years, coming in 1926 when he was engaged as manager of the old Dorchester Canning Co. After the company’s sale, he was transferred to Lake Mills by the Libby Co. about 25 years ago.

He was promoted to more responsible positions with the company before his retirement last year. He also had worked in Medford and Colby plants briefly before coming to Dorchester.

Mr. Sorenson was village clerk here a number of years. He served as commander of the local American Legion post, and also held office in the state American Legion organization. He was one of the persons instrumental in getting the water utilities in this village, although he moved before the installation was completed. He was a member of several of the Masonic bodies.

Surviving are the widow and two daughters Mrs. Russell (Evelyn) Evans, Madison; Mrs. Alvin (Marilyn) Jensen of Virginia.
