Emma Sjoland was born in San Fransisco, Cal, July 24,1883. In 1884 she moved with her parents to Atkinson where she has resided practically all her life. She was united in marriage to Henry J Stansberry, in 1908. To this union five children were born; Zella Alene, Velma Vivene, Harold Jay, Doris Lucille, Gladys Evelyn. Velma Vivene died in infancy. Mr. Stansberry died Jan 27,1917. Surviving her are four children; two sisters, Dorothy Sjoland and Mrs. A J Barnes, step father O E Torske of Atkinson. For more than nine years Mrs. Stansberry has struggled with courage to support her four children and educate and keep them together. Her health has been frail and the burden was heavy. At last the heavy task is laid down and she is at rest. Her children will always cherish the memory of her faithfulness and fidelity and sacrifice. The entire community suffers loss of a heroic Christian woman, and heartily sympathized with the stricken family in their bereavement. Funeral servuces at the Methodist Episcopal Church of which deceased was a member were held Thursday. Interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery.
