The Gravdahls were former residents of Story City, and the deceased was a graduate of the Story City high school. For the past three years the family have lived at Tomahawk, Wisconsin. There the fatal illness commenced at holiday time. The patient rallied, however, sufficiently to permit her a trip to the home of her sister in Des Moines; there a relapse occurred and death found her at the age of twenty years, Thursday March 19. Mrs. Gravdahl and her daughter from Des Moines accompanied the remains on their last journey.
