ELIASEN, Hjalmer ----- died at his home in Hoyland last Monday morning.  Deceased had been ailing for over a year, with stomach trouble, and a few weeks ago he went to Duluth in hopes of securing medical relief.  But the disease had then made such progress and he was so weakened that nothing could be done for him more than to make him as comfortable as possible while the end approached. He was brought back from Duluth the early part of last week.               

Deceased was born in Norway 37 years ago, coming to this country with his parents when a child. The family first settled at Duluth, Minn., coming to Cook county and settling at Hoyland about twenty-four years ago, and during practically all of the time since he has lived at Hoyland. He was a respected citizen, having since his maturity held various public offices in the community. He was ambitious, and in his anxiety for the welfare of his family it is said he overtaxed himself; for among his neighbors overwork is given as the primary cause of his sickness. He leaves a wife and three children, the oldest of whom is four years of age, and the youngest ten months. His father and all of his brothers and sisters reside at Hoyland. The funeral will be held this afternoon, with services at the Lutheran church at Hoyland, and many Grand Marais friends of the family will attend.  Mrs. Eliasen was a former Grand Marais girl, and to her and all the members of the bereaved family the people of this village extend sincere sympathy.
