RILEY OLSON
From Der Nord Westen, 22 Mar. 1900:
A stroke took the life of Riley Olson in Clarks Mills on Fri.
Mr. Olson, widely known resident of our county, was born 55 yrs. ago in Valders, Norway, came to America and to Manitowoc County as a child and has lived here ever since.
He allied himself with the Republican Party and has filled several offices.
At the time of his death he was postmaster of Clarks Mills.
He is survived only by a 14-yr. old daughter, his wife having preceded in death several years ago.
The funeral was held Sun.
-------------------
Valders, WI was settled in the 1850s by immigrants from the Valdres mountainous region of Norway. The largest town in Valdres is Fagernes, but many immigrants arriving in Wisconsin came from the valleys of Vestre Slidre and Øystre Slidre, ...
Valdres is a district of the county Oppland.
Vestre (West) Slidre and Øystre (East) Slidre came into existence in 1849 when the parish and municipality of Slidre was divided. The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Slidre farm (Old Norse: Slíðrar), since the first church was built here. The name is probably derived from slíðr which means "sheath", referring to a long depression near the church.
