Astoria Newspaper-August 1950

Abigail Fredrika Claeson

Mrs. Abigail Claeson, 72, resident of Frankfort, Wash., for the past 30 
years, died in a local nursing home Sunday afternoon.  She had been ill 
since the cold spell last winter when she was brought to Astoria by the 
Coast Guard, and had been in the nursing home for the past 3½ months.

Born September 23, 1877, in Fredrickstad, Norway, she came to Canada as 
an infant.  At the age of 7, she came to Astoria and was educated in 
the public schools here.

Mrs. Claeson moved to Frankfort about 30 years ago, and on August 30, 
1927, was married in Cathlamet to her surviving husband, Hugo Claeson.  
Also surviving her are two sisters, Mrs. Emil (Johanna) Kandoll, 
Rosburg, Wash., and Mrs. Oscar (Mary) Langlois, Coquille, Ore.

Services will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Grays River Seventh 
Day Adventist church.  Elder W. H. McGee, pastor of the Astoria Seventh 
Day Adventist church will officiate and burial will be in Seal River 
cemetery.  The services are under the direction of the Hughes-Ransom 
mortuary.

Serving as casket bearers will be Ernest, Walter, Richard Kandoll; 
Marcus and Stanley Monge, and Milton Herold.
