LARS OLSON
(1823 • 1900)
BEYOND BORDERS OF TIME — OLSON
Again have the portals of death opened to admit a pioneer resident and at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday evening the soul of Capt. Lars Olson passed beyond the borders of time. His death occurred at the home of his son Louis, 712 North Fifth street and was due to paralysis.
About five years ago deceased was stricken and never fully recovered. Sunday afternoon he suffered a second stroke and it proved fatal. Since Sunday he has remained in a semi-unconscious state unable to move a muscle and denied the privilege of speaking a last farewell to his sorrowing children.
Born in Norway, Feb. 24, 1824, he had but shortly passed his 78th birthday. In 1869 he came to Manitowoc and has since been a resident. He was the owner of a number of vessels during his life and followed the lakes up to within a few years of his death. His wife died last December and the aged husband has patiently awaited the call which would reunite them in a land where parting is unknown.
He was the father of seven children, three of whom survive to mourn his demise. They are Mrs. Carrie Paulson, Charles and Louis Olson, all of this city.
The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon.
