Irvin Bert Olsen was born June 14, 1900 at Osage, Mitchell, Iowa to Lars Iver Syse Olsen and Anna Regina Larson, the youngest of their seven children.

He was baptized on June 25, 1900 at the Rock Creek Lutheran Church at Meroa, Cedar, Mitchell, Iowa. His baptismal sponsors were: Mr & Mrs Ole Torblaa; Peder Bastian Larson and Katrine Larson.

Irvin's mother died from complications of childbirth a few weeks after his birth. He was sent to her relatives at the Larson farm because they also had a baby and could better care for him. He only survived a short while.

Irvin B Olsen died September 7, 1900 at Cedar, Mitchell, Iowa and is buried at the Rock Creek Lutheran Church Cemetery, Meroa, Cedar, Mitchell, Iowa.

Obituary from Osage News, September 18, 1900:

Irvin Bert, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Lars Iver Olsen died September 7, 1900, aged two months and thirteen days. The sadness of the home at the loss of the mother only a few weeks previous was again thrust upon the family through the death of the babe. The funeral occurred at Rock Creek Norwegian church last Sunday. Reverand J. A. Urness of Prairie Farm, Wisconsin officiating. The body of the lifeless little flower now lies buried beside that of its mother and her children who had gone before. The father and four remaining children of the family have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their deep sorrow.

There is a memorial for him at Find a Grave #99561370.
