Mrs. Onger was born November 11, 1888 in the Strandquist community, a daughter of Carl and Anna Carlson, and she has spent her entire life in that vicinity. She was confirmed in the Zion Lutheran Church and attended a rural school near her home.

On October 17th, 1925 [correct date is Oct 17, 1924], she was married to Gust Onger and two children were born of this union. She was a wonderful wife and mother and also reared and cared for six step-children to whom she was devoted and she loved them as her own.

The funeral will be held at the Gospel Tabernacle in Karlstad at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, February 28th with Pastor J. A. Riveness assisted by Pastor C. R. Logelin officiating.
