Engen, Karen (1899? - 24 AUG 1910)

Karen Engen, the little and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Helmer Engen, died at the Northwester Hospital in Minneapolis last Wednesday morning at nine a.m., at the age of 11 years. She had been suffering the effects of appendicitis since the last Monday in July, and after three weeks of suffering in the hospital in Minneapolis, she finally succumbed to the grim hand of death.

She came to our city (Greenwood, Clark Co., Wis.) in 1906 with her parents from Norway, and during her brief school days, Karen's sweet face and winsome ways won the hearts of both teacher and playmates. Yet, above all came the comforting thought that the gentle child was spared earth's cares and sorrows, that her memory but forms a card to draw her loved ones to the brighter home beyond.

The funeral services were held last Friday and the little body place in the Minneapolis cemetery for a long sweet rest.
