From April 14, 1926 Allamakee Journal: Waterville news;
"Relatives and friends here were grieved to learn of death of Miss Alice, only daughter of Ole Kolsrud, at her home in Colorado Springs recently. The young lady was born here and her father was a former resident of this place and one time one of our successeful merchants. Due largely to his daughter's ill health he moved to Colorado Springs several years ago. Ole was a good 'scout' and we sure sympathize with him in his great loss."

Submitter's note: According to 1910 Census, Alice was Ole's wife's name and Gertrude was the daughter's name. 1930 Census still lists Alice but not Gertrude. One may speculate the newspaper erred and that "Gertrude" is the daughter that died in 1926.
