Laine, Helga (19 MAY 1876 - 7 SEP 1960)

 

At 2:00 o’clock Friday afternoon, Sept. 9, funeral services for Mrs. Arthur Laine, 82, Withee (Clark Co., Wis.), were conducted from the Hoeper and Kraut Funeral Home.  The Rev. Byrl Knudsen, pastor of Nazareth Lutheran Church, Withee, officiated.  Burial was at Riverside Cemetery.

 

Serving as pallbearers were Frank Karye, Kauno Niemi, Toivo Kangas, John Blunck, Vandi Vormstadt and Martin Paulson.  In charge of floral offerings were Mesdames Leslie Buss, Lily Kyle, Frank Karye and Allen Niemi.

 

Mrs. Laine had been in poor health for some time, having been treated at Rochester, Minn. recently.  On the eve of her death she became critically ill at her home in Withee and was enroute to the hospital at Marshfield in the city’s ambulance when she passed away Sept. 7th, 1960.

 

She was born May 19, 1876 in Finland and came to this country when 20 years of age, settling first at New Cassel, Pa., where she made her home for four years prior to moving to Negaunee, Mich.  Here on the 15th of June 1906, she was united in marriage to Arthur Laine.  The couple came to this community in 1914, settling on a farm near Withee, in the Town of Hixon (Clark Co., Wis.), where they resided happily and farmed for 33 years until their retirement in 1947, when they moved to the village of Withee.

 

Her passing is mourned by her husband; two sons, Arthur of Tofte, Minn., and Vaino of Evanston, Ill., and five grandchildren.
