Ada Wingate Norby collection - Soldier Sentinel
Mrs. Arne Olson Laid to Rest			1931  Soldier Sentinel

	As was stated briefly in last week’s Sentinel, Mrs. Arne Olson passed 
away at her home early Thursday morning.
	Mrs. Olson had not been feeling well for a short time and had been 
attended by Dr. Liska the night before her death, but her condition was not 
thought serious.  Heart failure caused her sudden death at about five o’clock 
Thursday morning.  Mrs. Olson had lived here nearly fifty years and had many 
friends.  She was always prominent in church and community work.  The large 
attendance and the many beautiful floral offerings at her funeral were fitting 
tributes from her many friends.
	The following obituary was read by Rev. Hoifjeld at the funeral 
services.
	Dorthea Knutson Bakkene Olson was born in Aurdal, Valders, Norway 
January 19, 1861.  She was baptized and confirmed in the state church of 
Norway.  She was married to Sargent Arne Olson June 22, in the year 1883.  The 
young couple started out for this country the same month and came to Moorhead 
the following month.  The family was blessed with 12 children whereof all 
survive except Anna Thonetta, who died in 1907.  Following are the children 
surviving:  Mrs. Ray Dickinson, Ole Olson, Mrs. Ray Outhouse, Arthur, Olaf, 
Ingval and Sigurd, all of Soldier, Carl of Danbury, Iowa; Amund of Sioux 
Falls, S.D. and Mrs. Wm. Murray of Sioux City.  Besides these eleven children 
her husband, Arne Olson, survives, and her sisters, Mrs. Ole Rude, Mrs. Chris 
Hanson, Ingeborg and Inga, and brothers Ole, Erick and Uldric.  Ingeborg, Inga 
and Uldric live in Norway.  She leaves also 22 grandchildren.
	Mrs. Arne Olson passed away in her sleep early Thursday morning of 
last week.  She had not been so well for some time but she was up and around 
till the last day.
	Funeral services were held in the Soldier church with a large 
attendance, last Saturday afternoon, and interment was made in the Soldier 
Valley cemetery.
