Esther was born Feb. 5, 1921, in Deering, N.D., the daughter of Mathias and Hilda A. (Grondahl) Olson. They moved to the Benrud area north of Wolf Point when she was a child. She was raised and educated there.
She married Harry O. Carlson on Sept. 28, 1941, in Wolf Point. They worked on the family ranch in the Volt area, north of Wolf Point. They later bought the ranch, raising their four children there. Upon retiring they moved to Sidney where Harry died in 1996. After a tragic house fire in 2004 that claimed the life of her oldest son, she moved to Malta and resided in the Hi-Line Retirement Center. Esther's passion was raising a garden. She also enjoyed sewing, cooking and visiting with people. Whoever stopped by, on the ranch or in Sidney, would enjoy a fresh pot of coffee and baked goodies.
