Bio

At Ferron, on the 9th of December, 1896, Mr. Olsen was married to Miss Cornelia Wrigley and they had one son, Austin, who was born September 29, 1897. He joined the army December 31, 1917, at Salt Lake City, was at Fort Douglas for two weeks and was then sent to Camp Dix, New Jersey, and in August, 1918, went to France. He participated in the sanguinary drive in the Argonne forest, in which he was wounded and was in a hospital when the armistice was signed. He was mustered out at Fort Russell, July 15, 1919, having done his full share in America's part in checking German militarism, which was menacing the whole world. Mrs. Cornelia Olsen passed away in 1898, and in 1899, at Ferron, Mr. Olsen wedded Nellie Taylor, who died at the birth of their fourth child, the children of that marriage being: Zina, who was born in 1900; Weldon, in 1902; Ray, in 1904; and Neldon, in 1906. On the 3d of April, 1913, Mr. Olsen was married to Mrs. Matilda Lowery, a widow, who is a daughter of Jens Jensen, a pioneer of Gunnison, where he follows farming. By her former marriage she had three children: Lafonta and Allen, who are living; and Aleda, who has passed away. Utah Since State: Historical and Biographical. Volume IV. View Full Context
