	Ole Swain, 67, a lifetime resident of the Soldier community, passed 
away at the Veterans’ hospital in Omaha Thursday of last week after a long

Post and Soldier Lutheran Church.

p.m. with Pastor Maynard Moen officiating.  Mrs. Norman C. Hanson was soloist 
and sang “My Jesus I Love Thee” and “The Lord’s Prayer”, accompanied at the 
organ by Mrs. Harry Andersen.  Interment was in Soldier Valley Cemetery and 
was conducted by American Legion Post No. 462 of Soldier.  Pallbearers were 
World War 1 veterans, Art Olson, Ervin Serverson, William Lee, Christ T. 
Olson, Dolphin Clemon and Clyde Dickinson.  Arrangements were by Pearson 
Funeral Home of Soldier.
	Ole Swain, son of Nels and Lena Swain, was born at Soldier, Iowa April 
18, 1894 and passed away in Omaha on February 8, 1962 at the age of 67 years, 
9 months and 20 days.
	He grew up in the Soldier community where he attended the local 
schools and became a member of Soldier Lutheran Church through baptism and 
confirmation.  He served in World War 1 and was a member of Soldier Legion 
Post No. 462.  He was single and most of his life was spent in farming.
