Hospital Treatment At Iowa City Failed to Benefit Wright County Farmer.

Buried Monday.

Arne Tveit died in the university hospital at Iowa City Friday. He had been in poor health for the past two or three years and every effort possible was made to relieve his sufferings. He was a good neighbor and a good friend to all his acquaintances. There is universal regret over his passing among his acquaintances. The sympathy of all is extended the bereaved widow, children and relatives.

Obituary
(By the Rev T. J. Severtson)

Arne Tveit was born in Norway, Europe, August 5, 1882 and died at the hospital in Iowa City Feb 8, 1929, aged 46 years, six months, and three days.

He came with his parents to the U. S. A. to Etterick, Wis., in 1883, where they lived for six years, coming to Humboldt county, Iowa, to near Thor in 1889. It was there his mother and two sisters and two brothers passed away, leaving Arne and his father alone.

He was married to Miss Anne Larson in 1907 and farmed in Troy township until a few years ago, when they moved to the present home. Four children were born to this union, Beatrice, Mildred, Arlean and Leslie. Arlean died June 10, 1928, the three remain together with Mrs. Tveit, mourn the loss of a kind father and husband. He is also survived by his father Lars Tveit of Eagle Grove.

His health began to fail about five years ago. He has sought medical aid very diligently, but it seemed no permanent help could be found for him. During his long sickness though we believe he found the aid of the Savior Christ Jesus. That help shall not fail him.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock from the home and 2 o’clock from the East Side Lutheran church. Burial was made in the Rose Hill cemetery.

Mrs. Tveit was a courageous honest and friendly lady. Her lot in life was not so easy. For a longer period her home had a goodly share of sickness, but Mr. Tveit and Arlean suffered for several years. A double responsibility was therefore placed on Mrs. Tveit, but she bore her lot heroically, she managed her home and farm successfully. She loved her God and her Savior tenderly, and was a faithful worshipper at the church services, she was at the worship last Sunday morning.

Funeral Services were held Saturday afternoon from the home and from the Eagle Grove Evangelical Lutheran church. Burial was made in the family lot at the Rose Hill Cemetery.
