The death of Karl Fox Swetland occurred at his home in Mills on Friday, May 24, following an illness of several months.
Mr. Swetland was in his eighty-third year, and had been a resident in Harrison Township for 71 years. His father, Morgan W. Swetland, moved into Harrison Township from Cortland County, N.

- Mrs. Blanche S. Huntington of Coudersport;
- Charles LeRoy, who died in 1919 at Pittsburgh, and

He is also survived by a widow, Ella A. and
- a sister Mrs. Clara Rexford and
two brothers,
- Chester A. and
- Henry H. Swetland, both of Mills.
- Another sister, Mrs. Eulella Harrison died last year in Mills.
