1928 \u2013 Death of Thoralf Gulleson (1896-1928)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Thoralf<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Thoralf was born in April 1896 and died in 1928 one month short of turning 32. He was buried in Tacoma, Washington. Thoralf passed away in Ione, Washington, on March 6. Ione is not far from Ruby, Washington, north of Spokane, where Edward Gulleson had the logging camp from 1922 – ???. How did he die? I remember my mother saying something about him falling into a river and dying from pneumonia. We have the following newspaper clipping relating to his funeral:<\/p>\n

“Funeral services for Thoralf Gulleson will be held Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 from the C.O. Lynn Chapel with the Rev. O.J. Edwards officiating. Burial will be in the Tacoma Cemetery.”<\/p>\n

Mrs. O.J. Edwards, the pastor’s wife, sang two solos: “Safe in the Arms of Jesus” and “There is a Home Eternal.” Edward and Anna (his second wife) Gulleson, John and Gudrun Lien, William and Sophie Kilde, Ansgar, Nelma and Jeffery were all at the funeral. <\/strong><\/p>\n
