ERIC OLSON

Eric Olson, 69, of Story City, died Friday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Olaf Townswick, where he had made his home most of the time for the past five years.

He had but recently returned from Finlayson, Minn., where he had been since last May. He had arranged to buy a farm in that part of the state, but was taken ill while there and forced to return to Story City, where he had been long employed as a section worker on the M. & St. L. railway.

He was unmarried, and the only known relative in this part of the country is a cousin, Mrs. Howard Ness, of Forest City.
