Obituary Notice:
MINNIE EIDEM
Minnie, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. S. Eidem, died Thursday night, March 23 [1905], after a long illness from that dread disease, consumption. Services were held at the house at 1 p.m. Monday and at the St. Paul church, Brule, where the interment took place, the pastor, Rev. P. J. Reinertson, officiating.
Minnie was born on the home place in northern Brule on January 20, 1892. She was a girl of sweet disposition and winning ways, always needing care and failing easy prey to the disease. She is keenly mourned by her intimate friends, who are numerous and devoted, and cherish her memory as a sweet influence in their lives. She leaves besides her parents; four brothers, Sever, Einar, Martin, and Joseph and one sister, Annie. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved friends in this hour of their sorrow.
