Tall oak-framed, leaded opalescent window in layered umber, teal, and ice-blue glasses with stylized foliate tracery and roundels. The lower cartouche reads: "In memory of Israel Jonason & Wife by thare Son," a striking bit of vernacular spelling preserved in glass.
American church-glass studios flourished c.1880-1915, often sourcing opalescent sheet from Midwestern makers (e.g., Kokomo, est. 1888) and producing memorial windows for immigrant congregations. The surname "Jonason" suggests Scandinavian patronage common to Minnesota/Wisconsin/Iowa/Illinois Lutheran churches; the nonstandard "thare" (akin to dialectal "thar") likely reflects phonetic English used by a non-native donor or glazier, adding regional character and documentary value.
