ANNA OLSON DIES MONDAY

WELL-KNOWN WOMAN SUCCUMBS TO COMPLICAION OF DISEASES

HAS LIVED HERE 20 YEARS

Has Family of Able Sons and Brothers, and Leaves Many Friends to Mourn Her Loss in the Community

Monday afternoon at 5:00 o’clock, occurred the death in this city of Mrs. Anna Peterson Olson, a resident of this city for nearly twenty years during which she had been active in the home life of the city, loved and honored by all who knew her.

The deceased was born April 7, 1848, at Holmstrop, Sjalland, Denmark, and came to Racine in 1868, where she married shortly after, Andrew Olson, by whom she had the following children who survive: Hans, Amos, William J., and Albert Olson, all living in or near this city at present.

Mrs. Olson’s first husband died and a second marriage to James Olson, of Saxeville, added a daughter to the family circle, she being Mrs. Laura Hartman of Springwater. Mr. James Olson passed away some years ago, since then the mother has made her home with her sons, visiting each in turn, passing away finally at the home of William J. Olson on S. Main Street.

Besides the surviving sons and daughters there are four brothers: H.P., Christian, J.P. and William Peterson, all well known and esteemed citizens of Waupaca.

The funeral will be held at one o’clock, Thursday afternoon from the residence at 811 South Main Street, Rev. Anthony Jacobs officiating, and at the First Baptist church at 1:30. Interment will be at the Lakeside cemetery.
