Almen and confirmed November 29th, 1896, by Rev. B.F. Bengtson.

Mr. Friberg served as township treasurer from 1937 until his death; also served as church treasurer for many years, and for 40 years he served as sexton of the Fridhem cemetery. Coming from a deeply religious family, Emil was always interested in church and church work and willingly took an active part in this work whenever called upon. Blessed be his memory.
