FRED LANDON DIES
Succumbs to Pneumonia Shortly After Leaving Harrisville
Word was received from Duluth Thursday of the death of Fred Landon, in that city. Fred sold out his property in Haynes, bought the Milton Somers farm in Hawes and left for Duluth sometime last November. News of his death came as a complete surprise.
The following account is taken from the Duluth Herald:
Fred Landon, 49 years old, a former well known resident of Duluth, died at 6 o'clock last evening of pneumonia at St. Mary's hospital after a brief illness.
Mr. Landon was taken sick at one of the Smith & Alger camps near Knife River and was taken to St. Mary's hospital Tuesday night. He came to the city five weeks ago from his home at Harrisville, Mich., and went from here to Knife River. He had previously resided here for twelve years, during which time he made many friends who will be grieved to learn of his death.
Mr. Landon leaves two daughters, Mrs. George Wood and Mrs. Thomas Collins, and one son, Fred, residing in Duluth. Besides his wife he is survived by two other sons, Joseph and Robert, and another daughter, Ida, at Harrisville, Mich.
The funeral arrangements have not been completed pending word from the members of the family outside the city. The services will take place at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wood, 464 Mesaba avenue. Mr. Wood is a member of the Duluth police force.
