MRS. DELILA K. OLSON IS LAID TO REST
The earthly remains of Mrs. Delilah King Olson, who died at Salt Lake City last Saturday, were brought to Fillmore, where funeral services were held in the City Hall last Wednesday.
Bp. F.H. Partridge presided over the services, which were begun with singing by the choir and the opening prayer was offered by Elder Christian Anderson. The speakers were Judge Joshua Greenwood, Judge Wm. H. King, a nephew of the deceased, Elder Joseph V. Robison, a cousin, and Pres. T.C. Callister. Benediction was pronounced by Elder J.D. Smith.
Three selections were beautifully rendered by the choir. Resolutions of love and esteem by the Relief Society, Y.L.M.I. Association, with all of which Mrs. Olson had been offically connected, were read. The services were attended by all of her children and many of her grand children. The remarks by the speakers were full of praise, love and esteem for her noble character.
Mrs. Delilah King Olson was the only daughter of Thomas R. King and Matilda Robison King. In the State of New York they joined the Mormon Church in 1840 and the following year started for Nauvoo. It was while the family was on this journey that Delilah was born at Sylvania, Lucas County, Ohio, July 10, 1841. With her family she came to Utah in 1851 and with them went to Fillmore, the Kings being among the first to settle here. It was in 1861 that Delilah King was married to Daniel Olson and with the exception of a short time spent in Salt Lake City, Fillmore was her home during the remainder of her life.
She was possessed of many abilities and as her husband was an expert violinist, the two contributed much to the social enjoyment of the community in which they lived. Mrs. Olson had grained a liberal education and she spent a great part of her life as a teacher. She was also prominently identified with the Relief Society and was a long time President of the first Primary Association in Fillmore.
Politically, Mrs. Olson was an ardent Democrat and served two terms as recorder of Millard County. She was an earnest advocate of woman suffrage.
Mrs. Olson is survived by the following children; George D., a merchant in Fillmore; Edmund T. of Chicago; Frank of Price, Culbert L., a Salt Lake Attorney; Emmott and Miss Ethel Olson and Mrs. George M. Hanson, whose husband is private secretary to Senator Geo. Sutherland. The deceased was an aunt of attornies Wm. H. and Samuel A. King.
