    Notes:

    John died from the swine flu. He was working as a hired man when the flu struck. He got on a horse and headed for his folks place. When he got there, he fell off the horse in the yard. The funeral was held in the yard in front of the livingroooom window where the family stood, watching, because of quarantine. This was the way most of the swine flu funerals were held during this time. His death certificate says Pneumonia, and Spanish Influenza. On the death certificate Axel gave Arvidds birthdate as March 5, 1890? On his WWI card, John also used March 5 as his birthdate in Ceresco NE? He was farming on his own at that time. In the 1900 census he was Johan A. His gravestone is Arvid Pearson so I put John as middle name so they agree.
    The death of Arvid Pearson, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. R. Pearson, of Ceresco, occurred March 4th, 1919, of pneumonia, following a case of influenza. The funeral took place March 6th, interment at the Lutheran Cemetery at Swedeburg, Rev. C. O.n conducting the services. The young man would have been twenty-nine years of age the day following his death, his birthday occurring March 5th. He was an industrious young man and the family have the sympathy of all in the loss of their son.
