The funeral of Mrs. Richard Olson was held today in Eagle Grove. The family lived in Webster City until last fall when they moved to Dubuque where Mr. Olson was a baggage man. Mrs. Olson had been taken to the Dr. Kime sanitarium at Fort Dodge,
for tuberculosis but she died shortly after arriving there. She is survived by her husband and four children, Gladys, Laura, Aileen and Lucile. She was but 28 years of age and her death is very, untimely. Only a few weeks ago Mr. Olson was here and buried their 16 months old babe, and he is bearing a double affliction. She leaves besides her husband and children, parents, five brothers and four sisters.
