Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the Minnehaha Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, Minn., for Mrs. Alma Louise Samstad, 66, of Minneapolis, Minn., mother of Mrs. Kenneth Van Dam of Neillsville. She died Thursday in Neillsville. Burial was made in Sunset Cemetery, Minneapolis.

They lived on a farm, and Mrs. Samstad also did clerical work in Dayton’s department store in Minneapolis until illness caused her to retire.
