Herman Huseby is buried here ~ Aged Pioneer Dies at Advanced Age of Ninety-two
Herman Huseby, one of the oldest pioneers of Otter Tail county passed away Friday noon at his home in Clitherall township at the age of 92 years, 8 months and 8 days.
Mr. Huseby was born in Norway, Nov 18, 1846, and came to this country with his parents in 1865 at the age of 19 years, first settling near Decorah, Iowa, where they lived for about two years before moving to Otter homestead.
Mr. Huseby worked in different places after coming to this country before taking a homestead. In Clitherall township Mr. Huseby was united in marriage to Alice Christofferson in 1870, and to this union 10 children were born, three of whom died in infancy. Mrs. Meltor (Clara) passed away in 1921 and one son, Martin in 1938. His wife died in 1919.

Mr. Huseby has enjoyed good health throughout the many years until a few months ago when he began to fail. He was a faithful member of Trefoldighed Lutheran Church and in his passing Otter Tail County loses another of its good old pioneer citizens.

Rev. & Mrs. Salveson sang by request, “Good Night Here, but Good Morning Up There,” and A.M. Thoreson sang, “Den Store Hvide Flok.” At the grave, Rev.
