THE BLAIR PRESS - JANUARY 13, 1916

Mrs. Ingeborg Olson, mother of Mrs. C.L. Foss, Rushford, Minnesota and Betsy, Mrs. Thomas Michalson, latter recently of Wakonda, SD, also mother of Mrs. J.A. Elliott of LaCrosse and Mrs. John H Johnson of Volin, South Dakota, died at the home of her daughter at LaCrosse, January 5, 1916, at the age of 83 years.

Burial took place at Beaver Creek, Trempealeau County, Wisconsin, Saturday, January 8, and the remains were placed beside those of her husband who died nine years ago and children who had preceded her in death.

The last rites were attended by her former neighbors and old-time friends. All of the surviving children were present.

Mrs. Olson was born in Bergen, Norway, April 14, 1832. In 1853 she was married to Amund Olson Hoheim and came to this country the same year, settling at Lodi, Dane County, Wisconsin. The following year they moved to Beaver Creek, settling on a farm a few miles north of Ettrick. Some years later they went to Rock Dell in Olmstad County, where a number of friends from the Motherland had previously located, there to establish their future home, but the Indian outbreak in the Minnesota valley caused them to abandon the frontier and return to Wisconsin. Renting out the farm, Mr. Olson built a blacksmith shop at Ettrick, where the family continued to live until the death of Mr. Olson with the exception of a year of so spent at Bellingham, Lacquiparie County, where a son was engaged in business. Mrs. Olson was the mother of nine children, four of whom survive. Peace be with her ashes. Reprinted from the Tri-County Record, Rushford, Minnesota.
