  	Trinity Lutheran Cemetery Brooten Review, Vol. 10 #51 Feb. 15, 1918 George Arenson Laid at Rest The burial of George Arenson, whose sudden death shocked this community last week, took place last Wednesday at 2 p.m. from Trinity Church, Rev. L. F. Reishus officiating. Interment was made in Trinity Cemetery. Mr. Arenson, owner of the Brooten garage, was a prominent business man, with a wide acquaintance. He will be missed by his many friends and associates but most of all by his brave and loyal wife, who is left alone with the responsibility of the welfare of nine children. The sympathy of our townspeople goes out to her. Mr. Arenson was born in the Town of Rolling Forks, May 13, 1872. Was married in 1900 to Ida Evenson. He has been for a number of years engaged in the automobile business in Brooten and had lately built a roomy and well equipped garage to take care of his growing patronage. The cause of his death was Bright's Disease. He was suddenly stricken while at work in his shop and died last Saturday morning at 5 o'clock. An immense gathering of people came to attend the funeral exercises, a great many from out of town.

• Notes

  A conversation with Ruth Syverson Hauser about her uncle George Arenson. George, like the others in the family, was a very kind and patient person, never raising his voice. He was sweet and gentle. When daughter Mabel (same age as Ruth) had a birthday, George came home from work, cleaned up and took Mabel and the other kids on a car ride about town (Brooten). George was asphyxiated while working on cars "down in the pit". listed as "G. W. Arneson" in baptism record of daughter, Hazel
