Anna Wilhelmina "Minnie"
(Peterson) Lydin
On Monday, March 17, the Fairfield community
was saddened by news of the death of one of the most beloved members of
that section. Mrs. C.A. Lydin, who passed away at her home thirteen
miles northeast of Haxtun, death following an attack of the influenza.
Anna Wilhamina Peterson was born on December 22, 1879, at Lockport,
Illinois, her parents being of Swedish ancestry.
On the 1st of
July, 1904, at Denver, she was married to C.A. Lydin. Five children were
the result of this union, and these young lives are robbed of her love
and care by the untimely demise of the mother. Besides the five
children, the husband, three brothers and three sisters are left to
mourn her loss. At the time of her death she was 39 years, 2 months and
25 days of age, an age at which her noble spirit had reached the height
of its power for good to family and neighbors.
Services were
held at her home at Fairfield, Rev. B.O. Johnson of the Mission Friends
church of Holdrege, Nebraska, a live-long friend of the family, coming
here to conduct the services. The remains were prepared for burial by
Mortician Harry B. Radford of Haxtun, and were laid at rest in the
Fairfield cemetery.
Services were scheduled for Thursday,
April 11, 1996 at the Fairfield Covenant Church with Rev. Dale Bishop
officiating. Burial was to follow in the Fairfield Cemetery.
