Mrs. Annie Egeland Died at Roland After Lingering Illness

Roland, June 12--Mrs. Annie Egeland, 63, passed away at her home at Roland last evening at 6:15 p. m., after an illness of several months. Two major operations were performed at Mary Greeley hospital for the removal of a cancerous growth. The operations appeared successful, but her condition has steadily grown worse since her return from the hospital March 23.

Her maiden name was Annie Opstvedt. She was born on a farm north of Roland Dec. 10, 1878. She was baptized and confirmed in the Bergen Lutheran church at Roland by Rev. Jacobson and has remained a faithful life-long member of that church.

She was united in marriage to Edd V. Egeland April 9, 1895. Mr. Egeland passed on to his reward during the "flu" epidemic on December 3, 1918.

Six children were born to them, Norris Egeland, Mrs. Arnold Cole and Ernie A. Egeland, all of Roland; S. E. Egeland of Mason City; Mrs. C. V. Thompson of New York City and Clarence L. Egeland in the U. S. Navy at San Diego, Calif.

She leaves to mourn her death six children, eight grand children and one sister, Mrs. T. H. Torkelson of Story City.

Funeral services are to be held from the home on Sunday at 2:00 and at the Bergen Lutheran church at Roland at 2:30 o'clock.
