FOXHOLM FARMER DROWNED IN THE MOUSE
Albert Olson, aged 38 years, one of the old settlers up Mouse river northeast of Foxholm, met death from drowning in Mouse river while bathing Sunday evening. The body was not recovered until Monday afternoon. The funeral was held Tuesday, interment being made in the Vaagen cemetery near the old Questad postoffice.
Olson and his wife’s brother, Sam Vaagen, had gone to the river to bathe. Olson, who was a good swimmer, started to swim across the river, which is quite wide at this point, when he sank beneath the placid surface of the stream. It is believed that he had heart failure or was taken with cramps.
Mr. Olson had lived in that vicinity for the past fourteen years. He leaves a wife and four children who have the sympathy of a host of friends.
