Funeral services for Oliver C. Olson, 87, of St. Ansgar, who died June 6, 1984 at the Good Samaritan Center here, were held June 9 at First Lutheran church with the Rev. Thomas Hughes officiating.
Oliver C. Olson (better known as Ole Olson to his family and friends), was born August 28, 1896 in St. Ansgar. He was baptized in the First Lutheran church September 13, 1896 and confirmed May 12, 1912.
As a young man he helped his brother, Palmer C. Olson establish a wholesale vegetable business here and spent many years assisting him in its management. He retired in the mid 1960's.
