Peter Olson Dies Suddenly

Peter Olson, aged 69 years, 4 months and 4 days, died early Wednesday morning at the home of his son, Charles, on the Hurd farm, three and a half miles north of town.

As the old man has been ailing for several years his death was not altogether unexpected, although he has been seriously ill but since Monday. As no medical attention had been given the old man, Coroner Williams deemed it best to hold an inquest over the body and pronounced death due to chronic trouble.

The funeral was held at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon and interment was made in the Worthington cemetery
