Great was the sorrow of this commu
nifty when news of the death of Charles
Olson, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John N. OF
son of this city, was spread abroad or
| Sunday morning last. Death came as q
relief to a long period of suffering. II
was about three months ago when 1t be-
came first apparent that his right leg
was effected, and failing to get better
| the young man was taken to La Crosse
and later, to Chicago, for examinations.
1t then developed that the trouble was
caused from sarcoma and that amputa-
| tion of the limb was necessary, which
occurred at his home in this city on De-
ce.nber 20th last. The operation at first
seemed to be successful and hopes were
entertained of his complete recovery,
! but complications set in and he finally
passed away.
Funeral services were held ii. the
| Methodist church in the presence of a
large gathering Of people, conducted by
Rev c. f Buffers, with interment in
the city cemetery.
Charles Olson was born in the town
of Christians, March 10, 1884, and would
have attained his majority had he lived
two months longer He was a young
man of great promise of sterling worth
and character and highly revered by all.
He was member of the Methodist church
and leading worker in the Epworth
league. He is survived by his parents,
sister and four brothers, to whom the
CENSOR, Joining all, extends its heart
felt sympathy.
