  Noteringar	Bio: Torgjels Knutson, who was in the hardware business for nearly half a century at Garfield, and had been a resident of that village for 55 years, passed away peacefully in his sleep from a heart attack last Saturday, October 29, at the age of 73 years.Mr. Knutson was born at Karmoen, Aakehavn, Norway, on December 5, 1864, at the age of 18 years he came to America and located at Garfield where neighbors from his hoe in Norway had settled. After working out for a few years, he established the Garfield Mercantile company, specializing in hardware and implements, which is still a going concern, though he had to give up active interest in it several years ago because of failing eyesight. He was united in marriage to Johanna Mary Olson who survives him, on October 26, 1888, at the East Moe church, of which congregation he had been a member for 50 years. Last Wednesday was the golden anniversary of their wedding and their children had planned to celebrate it on Sunday, but he died the day before. Four sons and three daughters survive their father: Alfred, Knute and Lawrence of Garfield, Henry of Alexandria, Rose and Helga, who are at home and Mae (Mrs. James Iverson) of Alexandria. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 o'clock at the residence and at 2:00 o'clock at the East Moe church, Rev. C. A. Bestul officiating, assisted by Rev. Emil Salveson of Rothsay, a lifelong friend of the family. Burial was in the East Moe cemetery. The pallbearers were the four sons and John A. Nelson and Andrew Walstead.(Park Region Echo, 3 Nov. 1938)
