Died May 5, 1934 at 10:30 p.m. at the hospital at Elk City. Andy, as he was known to his friends, was married in Denmark about the year 1888 to Mattie Kristena Jehsen. To this union were born six children, one died in infancy, the others who are still alive and were with him till the last are: Ole Olson of Grimes; Mary Olson of Amarillo, Texas; Nels Olson of Grimes; Carl Olson of Grimes, Cora Olson of Grimes. They lived in Denmark until the year 1892 and in June of that year came to the United States with their infant son, Ole and settled in Des Moines, Iowa. All the other children were born in this country. They lived there for about 9 years, then coming to this homestead near Grimes is now and have lived here almost 34 years. Andrew Olson joined the Lutheran church in Denmark at an early age and we feel like his past life speaks for itself. He lost his wife in death, May 28, 1927. The old homestead 1/1-2 miles east and 1-2 mile north of Grimes is still the old home, having never changed hands. He leaves to mourn his departure, a brother, A.M. Olson of Parta, Michigan, 5 children, 11 grand children and one great grandson, and a host of friends.
