Carl A. Solien Last Rites Saturday
Carl A. Solien, a pioneer of this community, passed away at his home in Twin Valley, December 24, at about 8:00 a.m. Although he had been an invalid for several years suffering greatly at times from arthritis, his death came suddenly.
Carl Solien was born in Vestre Toten, Norway, Oct. 18, 1858. He was the son of Andreas and Maria Berg. He was confirmed Oct. 5, 1873, by Bishop Wilhelm Magelson.
On June 24, 1878, he left his home in Norway and came to Norman county, at that time a part of Polk county. Here he took a homestead which became his home, and where he lived until 1925 when he moved to Twin Valley.
On January 21, 1881, Mr. Solien was united in marriage to Oliana Sethney. She preceded him in death September 13, 1930. To this union were born ten children, eight of whom survive him: Mina, Mrs. Marie Kleppe, Clara, Alma and Otto of Twin Valley; Arthur of Valley City, N.D.; Joseph of Bovey, Minn., and August of Moorhead, Minn; also eleven grandchildren. He was the last of his family, his brother and sister having passed away a number of years ago. Mr. Solien lived to be 88 years, 2 months and 6 days of age.
Carl Solien was a member of the Wild Rice congregation for 37 years. After the Syre congregation was established, the family transferred because it was nearer to the farm home. When the family moved to Twin Valley in 1925, they joined the Zion Lutheran church.
Mr. Solien was always interested in the upbuilding of the community. He served on the different church boards in the congregations of which he was a member, as well as on the school board and township board in Home Lake. He was for many years one of the directors of the Wild Rice Children's home.
The funeral was held Saturday, December 28, at 2 o'clock p.m. from Zion Lutheran church in Twin Valley, with interment being made in the family lot at the Wild Rice cemetery. Reverend A. C. Odden of Zion church officiated. Paul Rogen, Fargo, N.D., was soloist. Six grandsons, Wallace of Moorhead, William and Joseph, Jr., of Bovey, Vernon, Walton and Robert of Twin Valley acted as pallbearers.
Mr. Solien's death marks the passing of another pioneer who had much to do with the upbuilding of this community. We join the numerous friends of the family in extending sincere condolences.
