Adolph Olson passed away, one of
the first victims of the second cpl
demic of influenza, the case devel-

of this city. He was % years of
age, being born at Litchfeld, Mimi,
Oct. 10, 1890. He leaves a wife and
three young children. Adolph Olson
was a young man of excellent char
acter and to be torn away from fam
lily and life plans at such an age is
extremely sad.
The body. was brought to C~layton's
undertaking rooms in this city. The
funeral will be conducted by Rev.
Alfred Hendrickson at the Presby-
terrain church, but at the time this
is written the time has not been
fixed on account of the uncertainty
