Mr. Olson was one of the county's prominent citizens, having come here when a very small boy. He was also an ex-Confederate soldier and was a member of the Lutheran church. He was about 71 years of age and leaves a number of children, all of whom are well known in the county. The funeral was held some time today from the Lutheran church near Prairieville at which place the body was laid to rest.
