The Nevada Representative, Nevada, Story County, Iowa, Wednesday, March 24, 1880.

Died.

At the residence of Mr. Abel Olson, in Howard township, on Tuesday morning, March 23d, Mrs. Carrie Olson aged about 97 years.

Mrs. Olson, whose life covered almost a century, was the mother of twelve children, of whom Abel Olson was the youngest. She came to this country from Norway, a little less than two years ago to spend the balance of her days with her son. She passed away without pain, willing for the change, and in the full enjoyments of an upright and true christian life.

City of Roland, published and for sale by Iowa Genealogical Society, Roland Cemetery, North Central Section, Row 3, Relative Marker 23: Kario HELVIG d. Apr 13 1880 aged 97y 4m. This is probably Carrie Olson even though the date of death is incorrect.]
