DEATH CALLS TOLAND MAN....

Charles Rolefson, an uncle of Bert Rolefson, of this city, died at his
home near Toland Sunday night at 10:40 o'clock of stomach trouble, aged
46 years.  Deceased was born in the town of Ashippun in 1868 and lived
there all his life with the exception of a few years spent at
Oconomowoc.  Five years ago he married Amelia Olson, of Oconomowoc, who
survives him with two children, Russel, aged three years, and a little
child six months old.  Mr. Rolefson was in good health up to a short
time ago and had been confined to his bed but one week before he died.

Besides his wife and children he is also survived by four brothers and
three sisters.  They are Sarah (Mrs. Ellingston), of Toland; Annie,
Rolf, Ole and Emma Rolefson, of Oconomowoc; Tom, of Nasbotah; Martin of
Brown Street.  He has many nephews and nieces living, six of the former
being pallbearers.  The funeral took place yesterday afternoon at 1:30
o'clock at St. Olaf's church at Toland, with burial at St. Olaf's
cemetery.  Rev. Nolstad officiating.

Deceased was a well-known and industrious young man and a kind and 
loving husband and father.  He has many friends who will mourn his
death and extend their sympathy to the bereaved family.
