Obituary - Alice Lund
The Hooper Sentinel
March 18, 1926
Popular Young Swaburg Lady is Called by Death
The Angel of Death visited the Swaburg community last Tuesday
afternoon, March 9th, when Miss Alice Lund, the 27 year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Lund, was summoned Home after a
lingering illness.
Alice Lillian Lund was born in Wausa on January 1st, 1899, was
baptized there on March 19th of the same year, and took her
confirmation vows in the Elim Lutheran church at Swaburg on
September 3rd, 1916. When a small child she came with her parents
to Swaburg where they resided for several years before moving to
their farm near Atkinson. Later they removed to Swaburg which has
been her family home since.
After having completed her education in the rural schools, Alice
attended the Hooper high school and the York Business College. In
1917 she entered the Ford hospital at Omaha to take a nurses'
training course, but after a time she was forced to discontinue the
work on account of her frail health. However, she again resumed her
training at Omaha, having regained her health and strength, and in
February of last year she was graduated from the Paxton Memorial
hospital, formerly the Ford hospital. For several months
following, she did duty as nurse in and around Omaha, and in the
summer went to Colorado where she was employed in the hospital at
Fort Morgan. But the strenuous duties of her chosen profession
proved too great a strain for her, and, in spite of her steadfast
patience and enduring courage, she was compelled to give up the
work returning to her parental home in November. For about three
months she was confined to her bed and the most skilled care was
commanded in her interest, but proved of no avail, and she passed
on to her eternal rest.
Besides the parents there remain to mourn her untimely demise, two
sisters, Mrs. Ethel Farner, of Norfolk, and Ruth, of Swaburg, also
her aged grand-father, Nels Martenson, of - - - - - - - - - - - - -
seas in the World War.
As an individual, Alice was possessed of a happy and optimistic
disposition, and was appreciated and loved by her friends. Hers
was an ideal life, dedicated to the service of mercy and
ministration, and with her passing, the mysteries of life and death
are deepened to us, as she had such bright prospects for a life of
service before her, but, when re-united "beyond the shining gates
of gold", the veil will be lifted and all things made clear, for
"Christ has made of death a star-lit strip between the companion-
ship of yesterday and the re-union of to-morrow".
The funeral was solemnized on Friday afternoon, with a brief prayer
service at the late home, followed by the formal service at the
Elim Lutheran church, of which the deceased was a member, her
pastor, the Rev. J. S. Benson having charge, and preaching the
sermon from the text "So teach us to number our days, that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom." The church male quartet sang, "Saved
by Grace" and "Nearer to Thee", and Pastor Benson and H. B.
Andersen sang a requested favorite selection "Beyond the Shining
Gates of Gold."
Interment was made in the family lot in the quiet God's Acre
adjacent to the church. The pall-bearers were Miss Julia Heller,
of Hooper, Miss Stanley, of Fremont, and the Misses Jane Hollister,
Vesta Beebe, Margaret Doher an Anna Schmeckle, of Omaha, all
formerly of the Paxton Memorial hospital. It was a sadly beautiful
and deeply impressive ceremony as the six nurses, clad in full
uniform, performed this last service for the departed friend.
Peace be upon her memory!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Alice, the daughter of Lars & Anna M. MARTINSON Lund, baptized,
Mar.19,1899, & confirmed in the Elim Lutheran Church, Swaburg,
Sept.3,1916. She & her parents lived in Swaburg, a farm near
Atkinson, & then back to Swaburg until her death.
She was educated in the rural schools, Hooper High school, York
Business College of NE,& graduated in 1925, from Paxton Memorial
Hospital,Omaha, becoming a duty nurse in Omaha, & later, at Fort
Morgan Hospital,CO.
Three months after confinement she died of TB, the illness for which
she had treated others at Fort Morgan.
Besides her parents, left to mourn her untimely demise, were two
sisters, Mrs. Ethel Farner, Norfolk, Ruth Nelson, Swaburg, &
grandfather, Nels Martenson, all who had mourned the loss of her
brother, Cpl.Lawrence Noble Lund, Oct 16,1918, in the trenches of
France, WWI,with burial in ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY.

L. Lund of Swaburg. Over one hundred of Hooper community boys are serving with the colors, many of them 'over there'" and while we could expect a "first one" to fall on the field of honor, yet the message of this young man's death came as a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, the great joy which peace brought to the now stricken home, as well as to us all, making the blow doubly hard to bear at this time. Corporal Lawrence Nobel Lund was born at Wausa, Nebr., June 17, 1893, died that Freedom might live, October 16, 1918, aged 25 years, 3 months and 29 days. He received his education in the schools of Wausa, Uehling and Atkinson, being a graduate of the latter school. He chose teaching as his profession, and had spent three most successful years in the work before his enlistment, Sept. 24, 1917. He received his military training at Gettysburg, Pa., and Camp Greene, S. C., sailing for overseas duty from Camp Merritt, N. J., April 30, of this year. He was member of Company H, 61st infantry. That he was made a non-commissioned officer shows that he was following out his life's training in his military career. The loss of this upright young Christian will be most keenly felt in the community in which he took so active a part in church, social and industrial affairs. More especially will it be felt when his comrades return to gladden the hearts and homes so lonely in their absence. Then indeed will the presence of him who sleeps in foreign lands be missed. Many of us have read with interest the splendid letters of Corporal Lund as they appeared in a Fremont daily paper. Through the courtesy of his parents we are permitted to give here an extract from a letter which he wrote on the eve of his departure from his own country, which clearly shows that he not only knew what he was going into, but that he was gloriously ready to lay any sacrifice upon the alter of his beloved country, even his life. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Dear Folks at Home: No doubt you have understood that my sending home of my surplus things meant that our time here was short. We have permission to tell our folks that we go soon, when we do not know, nor where. The time we enlisted men have waited for has come, as we were all tired of getting ready although it was necessary. We go realizing what it means, but knowing, as Americans, that we can do no less. We are proud to be volunteers, to wear the uniform of the defenders of the best flag on earth, and when the time comes I will do my part "over there" as you must do yours "over here." The Victory must be OURS! The only question is, how long will it take? This is my last letter on this side unless plans change. And now, Father, Mother, Sisters, remember that I am going to do my part and feel proud of your soldier boy. Good-bye, God bless you and keep you. Your soldier boy, Noble." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If anything can mitigate the sorrow of the bereaved ones it will surely be the memory of such sentiments from him who was "Noble" in name and deed. Close surviving relatives are his father, mother, and three sisters, Misses Ethel, Alice and Ruth, also his grandfather, Nels Martinson, and other more distant relatives.

Viola Mae Lund was born December 19, 1917 at Dawson, Nebraska and she died peacefully at her home in Burke, South Dakota, on February 27, 2005 at the age of 87 years, 2 months and 8 days. In 1919, Vi's parents moved from Table Rock, Nebraska, with her eleven brothers and sisters, to a farm northeast of Lucas, South Dakota. ( Her sister, Lucille, was born in South DAkota, thus only 10 siblings moved to SD with her). Although she was helping on the farm, Vi was still able to graduate from Sunnyside School. Viola was united in marriage to Harold E. Lund on August 9, 1936 in Burke and to this union two sons and two daughters were born. While living on a farm for 16 years in the Lucas community, she enjoyed farming, gardening, canning, cooking for the thrashers, and playing on the Lucas women's softball team. In 1952, Viola, Harold and their children moved to Burke, where she has resided for the last 53 years. Besides her major role as a wife and mother, Vi had many careers in her active life: cooking at a small cafe, making yard decorations, painting, wallpapering, and cleaning. But she really had a great time working at the Hillcrest Motel for 20 years, where she formed many lasting relationships. Mter her retirement, Viola enjoyed her grandchildren, flowers, letter writing, bread baking, and talking on the phone. She would call her neighbors on her mail route, when the mail had arrived. Mom told us, "You kids better put a phone in with me so I can pester my relatives, neighbors and friends." Viola was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, 5 sisters and 4 brothers. Viola is survived by her two daughters,two sons, eight grandchildren, four great-grandchildren: one sister, one brother, and a host of relatives and friends.
