Mr. Carlson was born in Sweden on October 20, 1878. At the age of three he came to this country with his parents. They resided in Iowa since coming here, living at Des Moines. For a time they lived at Dunnell, Minn., and in 1920 moved to Estherville. Mr. Carlson was connected with Crawford, Bros. store for several years.

He is survived by one son, Robert Carlson and one daughter, Fern Carlson. The funeral services were held on Wednesday at 1:30 from the home and 2:00 o’clock from the Methodist church, the Rev. F. W. Ortmeyer officiating. The remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery. (Estherville Enterprise, Estherville, IA, March 14, 1940)
