Admitted to the Rochester State Hospital, Rochester, Minnesota on February 15, 1923 and died March 11, 1923.

Buried at Rochester State Hospital Cemetery with no stone as is the custom at that cemetery. The Minnesota Historical Society, custodian of the Rochester State Hospital records, produced Statistical records, page 256, Case #14977 which showed that Kari Anderson was a resident of Goodhue County, Minnesota, and was accompanied to the hospital by John A. Anderson and Mrs. Jeanette Norby and that Mr. John Berglund of Weaver, Minnesota, was the correspondent or relative. (John Berglund was the son of Kari Anderson).
