Mrs. Erickson had been ill for about a year and a half, but the direct cause of death was a stroke which she suffered about a week before her death. She is survived by her husband, three daughters, Hulda (Mrs. L. G. Brooks), Mrs. Hildegard Tatgren, (Esther) Mrs. Chas. Gustafson, four sons, Cornelius, John Jr. and Carl all of Bigfork, and Gustave of Camp Campbell, Ky.

All of the children were present at the last rites and all of the grandchildren with the exception of one, Mrs. Dick Lee, of Los Angeles, Cal. Relatives from out of town included Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Hansen of Minneapolis, Mrs. Wendell Freed of Minneapolis and Mrs. Glen Brown of International Falls, grand daughters, Mr. Erickson's brother and two sons of Aitkin. The four sons and two son-in-law acted as pall bearers. Mrs. Erickson will be greatly missed in the community which has been her home for so many years.
