Mrs. Walter Olsen of Sioux
City Stricken While Visit-
ing Relatives Here

--------

While preparing to leave for her
home at Sioux City after conclud-
ing a pleasant two-day visit in
Exira, Mrs. Walter Olsen suffered
an attack of heart trouble and
dropped dead Sunday afternoon at
the home of Rev. and Mrs. H. L.
Jensen. She had not complained of
being ill until only a few minutes
before her death.

Mr. and Mrs. Olsen came to
Exira on Friday for a visit with
their uncle and aunt, Rev. and Mrs.
Jensen. She was enjoying usual
good health prior to the attack and
her death was a great shock to her
family and relatives.

She is survived by her husband
and five children, Walter Jr., who
is now with the U. S. fleet off the
Pacific coast; Clarence, Robert,
Gayella and Dolores, all at home.

Short services were held here
Wednesday morning at 9:30 at
the Danish Lutheran church with
Rev. Jensen in charge and the body
was then taken to Sioux city,
where services were held at 3
o'clock at the Graceland cemetery
chapel.
