ANNIE OLSON

(1818 • 1910)

LIFE CLOSES AT AGE OF 90

Mrs. Anna Olson One of Oldest Residents of County

Calmly and peacefully, like a tired child in sleep, Mrs. Anna Olson, one of the oldest residents of the county, passed from earthly life this morning, her demise occurring at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Anna Mauritzen on the Plank road northwest of the city. For some time, Mrs. Olson's death had been fore-shadowed by her enfeebled condition.

Mrs. Olson was a native of Norway, born Dec. 4, 1819, and came to Manitowoc county forty years ago with her husband. Mr. Olson died shortly after arrival here and Mrs. Olson had made her home with her children, three of whom survive, Mrs. Mauritzen and A. Olson of this county and one daughter in Norway whom the mother has not seen in a score or more of years. Three grandchildren and three great grandchildren also survive. Mrs. Winnie Morrhus and Mrs. F. A. Shelton, grandchildren, were at the bedside of Mrs. Olson at death.

The funeral will be held from the Mauritzen home Wednesday at 1 o'clock.
