Mrs. Lisabet Olstad, wife Of our
aged pioneer, Peter Olstad, died un-
of heart failure at her
home in Lake Hanska Monday morn
ing at $50 o'clock.
Few are blessed with almost four
score years as lifetime in which to
fulfill their mission on this earth.
Mrs. Olstad died at the age Of 70
years, ten months and twenty-five
days. She was born in Gulbrands-
dalen, Norway, Sept. 3, 1884 and came
TO Chicago in 1868. In 1870 she was
to Peter Olstad and four
years later they moved to Brown
county where they have made their
home ever since. Coming here when
they did, the Olstads went thru the
grasshopper siege and endured many
other pioneer hardships. To live such
a complete life as was her privilege
and bring up and train the splendid
children that survive her, is an ac-
complishment that brings honor not
only to the one who so lives, but also
to the community. She was a true
and devoted christian mother whose
memory will linger in pleasant recol-
lection in the hearts of her many
friends and beloved relatives.
Mrs. Olstad leaves to mourn her
loss her husband, one daughter and
three sons, Miss Jennie, Carl and
John of Lake Hanska and Caspar of
Minneapolis; also one brother who
has always made his home with the
Olstads.
Funeral service was conducted
Tuesday afternoon and interment
was made in Lake Hanska cemetery.
