EVEN TOLLEFSON

Even Tollefson Dies Suddenly
WELL KNOWN MAN IS A VICTIM OF HEART FAILURE
Topples From Chair And Expires In Few Seconds
Seated in the office of the grain warehouses, at his post of duty, a 
position he occupied for upwards of forty years, Even Tolefson (sic), 
manager of the O. Torrison grain and feed department toppled from his 
chair avictim (sic) of heart failure yesterday afternoon shortly before 
4 o'clock and expired within a few seconds.
With Mr. Tollefson at the time were Louis Christman and Peter Robinson 
who thought at first that the victim of the attack had fainted. They 
picked him up from the floor and one of them ran into Dr. Kemper's 
office and summoned aid. But when the physician arrived he pronounced 
him dead. The remains were taken to his home at 915 S. Clair street.
Mr. Tollefson was seated in a chair and was trying to repair a lock on 
the outside door, and the end came entirely without warning. He merely 
slid from the chair onto the floor and never uttered a word thereafter.
HAD BEEN AILING
For several months Mr. Tollefson had been ailing though there was no 
direct evidence that the end would come so suddenly. Recently he 
complained of not feeling well but seemingly well and robust, there was 
no alarm felt over his condition. A physical examination showed high 
blood pressure and at the time it was deemed wise to have a number of 
teeth which had been giving him trouble, extracted. After (remainder of 
sentence unreadable) better did not lose any time ???? his work.
Even Tollefson was a native of this county having been born at Two Rivers, 
April 12, 1860, his parents removing to this city shortly after. Besides 
his sorely stricken wife he leaves two sisters and two brothers surviving 
him. They are Mrs. B. Jacobson of Chicago, Miss Matena Tollefson, a teacher 
in the local schools and Edward and Walter Tollefson, both of this city. 
Funeral arrangements have not been made as yet, but it is thought the 
services will be held on Saturday.
Decedent was 61 years of age and had been in the employ of the Torrison 
company for forty-three years. Industrious, capable and conscientious he 
had been one of the most faithful of the employes of the big store and his 
death comes not only as a direct personal loss to the firm but a shock as 
well, as his long association had endeared him to his employers as well as 
all with whom he came in contact.
