From the Faribault Republican’s 23 Mar 1887 edition:

The dead body found near the cemetery on Tuesday proved to be that of Gunder N. Lockrem, who had left home January 15th, on which day he went to the cemetery to make arrangements for the burial of his child which had died the day before. As he had gone away from home on several former occasions without informing his family of his plans, no search was made for him. The verdict of the coroner’s jury was that he came to his death by freezing. He was the husband of Ingeborg Enger Lockrem.
