Death Comes to Swaburg Citizen
Eric Olson, 72, who served as treasurer of School District 84 at
Uehling for many years, died unexpectedly at his home in Uehling
Thursday evening. Funeral services were held at 3 p.m. Sunday at
the Congregational church in Uehling. Rev. Arthur Swanson
officiated, and burial was in the Baptist cemetery. The Wollmer
and Warne funeral home was in charge. Mrs. Ivan Wedergren presided
at the piano, and accompanied Mrs. Marguerite Buck and Miss Georgia
Rae Wedergren who sang "In the Sweet By an By" and "Good Night and
Good Morning". The profuse floral offerings and the large concourse
of relatives and friends bore testimony to the esteem in which Mr.
Olson was held. The pallbearers were six nephews of the deceased,
Leslie Jacobs, Clyde, Theodore and Raymond Olson, and Jack and
Donald Carson.
Mr. Olson was born Dec. 13, 1873, at Swaburg. He married the
former Hilda Lundberg March 1, 1903, at Fremont and the couple
lived on a farm north of Uehling. Mr. Olson retired from farming
and they moved to Uehling in February 1942. He had been in failing
health for the past several years and last February in an effort to
aid his condition, he submitted to an operation for the amputation
of his right leg. Rallying, he had been able to get about in a
wheelchair and was happy to be able to do tasks around the home.
The final summons came as he sat working in his chair in his yard.
During his many years as a resident in Swaburg, Mr. Olson
identified himself as a kind neighbor and a good citizen. He took
an active interest in the affairs of the community and for many
years served as treasurer of the Logan View School in Swaburg.
He is survived by his widow; a son, Howard; a daughter, Mrs. Harry
Olson; a granddaughter; three sisters, Mrs. Christina Erickson, of
Uehling, Mrs. A. L. Anderson of Iowa, and Mrs. John Carson of
Lyons, and two brothers, Alfred of Craig and William of Fremont. A
daughter, Evelyn, died in 1924.
