Mrs. Osmund Osland
([ca. 1860}*-1919)

From the Rake Register - Mrs. Osland died last Tuesday night. She has been unwell for some time. It was noticed that her health was failing since two of their boys were drafted into the army service. Then when the news came of the death of their son, Ole, it gave her such a shock that she began to fail quite fast. She became more or less paralyzed and as time went on she grew worse until death claimed her. The Osland family came over from Norway in 1899, having lived in Hjelmeland, Stavanger. They came right to this vicinity and have lived on their home farm six miles southwest of here ever since with the exception of the first year or so. There were ten children born to them, 5 girls and 5 boys. Two of the boys having gone before her. One died about five years ago and Ole died last fall in the army hospital. Mrs. Osland had reached the age of about 57 years. The funeral will be held next Saturday at the home about 12 o'clock and from there the remains will go to the Liberty Cemetery west of town. She was a good woman and mothered a good family. All who know them extend sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.
