Clarissa Gullickson
DROWNED AT IOLA.
Niece of G. A. Gullikson Breaks
Through Ice and Drowns.
G. A. Gullikson of this city received a telephone message from Iola
Sunday at about 12:30 o'clock, saying that his niece, Clarissa Gullikson, aged twelve
years, daughter of Mrs. Nellie Gullikson, had been drowned at that
place a short, time before. According to the particulars received here
the little girl was skating on a pond within the village, in company
with the young son of Knute Thompson, when they broke through. Their
cries were heard by George Claus and Halbert Swenson, the latter an
uncle of the girl, and they went to their rescue. When they were
finally taken out of the pond, Clarissa was dead and the boy nearly so.
However, by quick and efficient work the latter was revived and now
feels little the worse for his harrowing experience. It is said that Mr.
Claus, one of those who went to the assistance of the children, himself
had a narrow escape from drowning.
Besides her
mother, little Clarissa is survived by three brothers, Arnold, Lyle and
Sidney, all older than she. The funeral will be held from the
Norwegian Lutheran church at Iola Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Matheson
officiating.
