The well-known Norwegian is sleeping his last sleep in Chicago. An old newspaper man and professor. He was followed to his grave by many old settlers.

Professor Thrond Bothne's funeral took place from St. Pauls Church, West North Avenue, of the Norwegian Synod, on Thursday afternoon. A large procession of mourners, most of them old settlers attended the funeral. Of out-of-town people, representatives were present from Decorah Posten, Hamline Seminary, and Luther College.

Among the tributes paid Bothne at his bier, the most striking one was, perhaps, by Prof. O. E. Brandt of Hamline Seminary, and a former student of Prof. Bothne's.

Few men in the Norwegian church here in the United States, said Professor Brandt, 2have exerted greater influence than Thrond Bothne. As a teacher he was unexcelled; he had a unique way of dealing with the students; he won their confidence, and his confidence in them was a source of strength for them.

Professor Bothne is buried in Mount Olive Cemetery.
