Chris T. Olson
Laid To Rest                                  (From the collection of Vivian 
Norby Andersen)

	Chris T. Olson, 73, a resident of the Soldier community most of his 
life, passed away at the Veterans’ hospital in Omaha Sunday, Dec. 4 following 
a long illness.  Death came suddenly, however, as he was sitting up in bed.
	Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, December 7 at the 
Soldier Lutheran Church with Pastor Harry C. Sorensen officiating.  Magnus 
Jepson was soloist and he sang “Beyond The Sunset” and “How Great Thou Art”, 
accompanied by Mrs. Magnus Jepson.  Mrs. Harry Andersen was organist.
	Chris farmed south of  Soldier most of his life and was active in many 
affairs of his township and the Soldier community.  He served for several 
years as director and president of Jordan-Soldier Valley  Telephone Co., was 
active in church and Legion affairs and a fine booster for everything that was 
good for his community.
	He was a veteran of World War I.  Upon retiring from the farm a few 
years ago he and his sister Elma moved to Onawa.
	Survivors include four sisters, Elma Olson and Mina Olson, both of 
Onawa, Charlotte Mathison of Moorhead and Gilma Olson of Ames.  He was 
preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Grant E. Olson.
	Interment was in the Soldier cemetery under the direction of Pearson 
Funeral Home.  Military rites were held by Soldier Balley Post 462 of the 
American Legion with Bryce Lee as Commander.  Bearers were Vernon Christensen, 
Gordon Mann, Conrad Mathison, James Hartigan, Lynn Mann and Gene Brenden.
	A complete obituary will be given next week.
