A splendid Christian mother was Mrs. Hoganson, and her life on this earth was full of devotion and service to her family and many friends. For many years she was a member of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church and was a faithful and active member as long as her strength permitted. The church and the entire community will feel the loss of this beloved mother.
Lina Larson Hoganson was born in Ytre Rendalen, Osterdalen, Norway. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith in the church at her home city.
In 1880 she came to America and was united in marriage the same year to Mr. Sam Hoganson. They immediately settled on a farm in Jackson county and have since resided here.
Eleven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hoganson: Mrs. Albert Roe of Jackson, Herman of Perely, Carl at home, Mrs. Herman Nelson of Dempster, S. D., Oscar, who passed away in 1907, Mrs. Joel Brown of Jackson, Mrs. Asley Leen of Windom, Clara, Mabel and Elsie at home. One child, Elsie, passed away in infancy.

Mrs. Sam Hoganson, Passes Away Friday Noon After Illness Covering Several Months
FUNERAL SERVICES WERE HELD TUESDAY AFTERNOON

Death, after a lingering illness has again entered one of our Jackson county homes and summoned one of the pioneer and much beloved mothers of this community in the passing of Mrs. Sam Hogenson, at the family residence in Belmont township, last Friday at noon.
Mrs. Hogenson was one of the pioneers of Jackson county, who was obliged to pass through the hardships of early day construction, yet in those trying days she never faltered in her duty. While home was her first thought, she also found time to assist in every way possible the up building of the church and was especially interested in the work of the ladies aide society. Not only were her activities confined to the home, but she also found time to assist in any worthy undertaking suggested in the community in which she was for so many years a part.
Doing the work of her Master, helping others to a little more sunshine and supervising her home, which attested by the excellent family of boys and girls that are left to honor her memory, are all evidences of the truly christian life lived by the deceased, a truly great heritage to be left to her family and friends.
Lina Larson was born in Yettre Rendalem Osterdalem, Norway, November 8, 1857, where she grew [to] womanhood. She was baptized [and in] 1880 she arrived in the United States and shortly after her arrival she was united in marriage to Mr. Sam Hoganson, settling in Jackson county where they have made their home ever since. To their union eleven children were born, Mrs. Albert Roe of Jackson; Herman of Pearley; Carl at home; Mrs. Herman Nelson of Dempster, South Dakota; Oscar, who passed away in 1907; Mrs. Joel Brown of Jackson; Mrs. Asley Leen of Windom; Elise, who passed away in infancy, Elise, Mabel and Clara at home.
Besides her helpmate of so many years, Mrs. Hoganson leaves to mourn her death, nine living children; two sisters, Mrs. John Samuelson of San Francisco, California; and Mrs. Carl Vardener, and a brother Martin Larson, both living in Norway, besides twelve grandchildren and three great grandchildren, and many admiring friends.
At the funeral services held Tuesday afternoon, all of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Hoganson were present to pay their last tribute of love to a mother who was held in high respect by many acquaintances.

Funeral services for Semming Hoganson, who died January 1st at the Bethel Home for the Aged in Mountain Lake, were conducted Saturday afternoon at two o'clock from Our Savior's Lutheran church in this city. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery.
Besides the children and relatives, many friends and former neighbors of the deceased were present to, pay their last respects. Rev. A. M. Mannes preached the sermon.
Mr. Hoganson was born in Rendallen, Osterdallen, Norway, November 12, 1856, where he grew to manhood. He came to America in the spring of 1880 and in the same year was united in marriage to Miss Lina Larson.
After a residence of seven years in Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Hoganson moved to a farm in Belmont township where they underwent many privations, but like other hardy pioneers refused to give up and were later rewarded for their efforts when Jackson county became settled and the crude farm homes of the early days were replaced with more modern buildings.
In spite of the hardships, they reared a fine family of children and lived happily together until death summoned Mrs. Hoganson from her helpmate four years ago.
Mr. Hoganson gave up active work on the farm in 1933, when his health began to fail, and later entered the home in Mountain Lake, where for some time he had been under a doctor’s care. For the past several weeks his condition had been very serious.
He is survived by nine children, Carl, who resides on the home place. Mrs. Albert Roe, Mrs. Joel Brown, Mrs. Raymond Leman, Mrs. A. C. Leen, Mabel and Clara, all of this county; Herman of Perley, and Mrs. Herman Nelson of Westbrook. He also leaves twelve grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
