Bio
OBITUARY: Box Elder News Newspaper 16 April 1908 Park Valley -- Once more the people of this place have been called to mourn the untimely death of one of earth's fair daughters in the person of Mrs. Sylvia Olsen. For a long time now, about three months we think, Mrs. Olsen has been a great sufferer. In the winter she took ill with pneumonia. Later a more deadly and pernicious disease took hold on her, superinduced by the pneumonia. About a month after Mrs. Olsen took ill it was deemed advisable to take her to Brigham where she could be closer to medical assistance. At this time scarlet fever broke out in the family and the trip was postponed for three weeks. A short time after her arrival in Brigham she gave birth to a child. But nature seemed unable to cope against the afflictions and death ensued. While the entire community of which Sylvia (as every one was wont to call her who had the pleasure of an acquaintance with her) formed an integral part, were not shocked nor overly surprised at the termination of affairs, it was nevertheless most acutely pained. For a long time Sister Olsen has been one of the most faithful workers in the ward. In some instances she has been the main stay of the organizations over which she presided. Particularly is this true of the Y. L. M. I. A. with which she has been identified in an official capacity for years. At times it has been an uphill task but she never murmured nor faultered, but kept steadily onward, having as her mentor that axiom: "the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but to he who endures to the end." She has kept the faith and fought a good fight, and henceforth there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness. We have heard a great many expressions of affection and admiration for Sylvia and her many good quality, all of which speak very loudly for her. As a daughter she was always mindful of her parents and their wishes. As a wife, fond, devoted and true. As a mother, all that any child needs to be reared in the fear and admonition of God, and that is saying a great deal. Sylvia Ameret Carter Olsen was born Feb. 20, 1874, at Laketown, Rich County, Utah. Died April 8, 1908, at Brigham City, Utah. Interment in the Park Valley cemetery, April 12, 1908. Deceased was the daughter of E. F. And Alice E. Carter. She leaves besides a husband, four children. At the services which were held in the Park Valley school house, Sunday, April 12, many words of comfort to the bereaved and of eulogy of the dead, were spoken by Elders J. N. Morris, Jacob Kunzler, J. G. Chadwich, C. Goodliffe and J. W. palmer, who also presided over the services. The grave was dedicated by J. P. Olsen of Brigham. --A Friend.
