=== Obituary - Christian Olsen ===
TWO DEATHS PAST EIGHT DAYS
Christ Olsen, who had a fall on the stairs at the home of his son Pete last week, died after remaining unconscious for several hours, sustaining a concussion of the brain in the fall. 
At the time of the fall, he made no particular complaint and stated that he would be all right and thought there would be no cause for calling in the doctor and it was some hours after and not until he became unconscious that this was done. Before lapsing into unconsciousness Mr. Olsen stated that when he started down the stairs he felt dizzy and sat down when things turned dark and he remembered no more. From this it is presumed that he suffered a slight stroke of apoplexy and while in this condition, rolled to the bottom. The injury to the head causing a blood clot. 
Mr. Olsen has been a resident of this section for many years and was a neighbor well thought of and beloved by all, and his unexpected death was a shock to the entire community. 
Christian Olsen was born in Denmark in 1854 and when 28 years of age, with his wife and four children came to this country settling in Racine, Wisc., moving to this neighborhood in 1891 where he has since resided. 
The funeral services were held at the Danish Lutheran church Tuesday after- noon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Pedersen conducts the last sad rites. The church was filled to overflowing by old neighbors and friends who followed the remains to the cemetery where the last respects were paid. 
The deceased, for years, had been a member of the local Woodmen, and a part of the membership attended in a body out of respect for their departed brother and gave the Woodman honors at the grave. 
Nine children are left to mourn the loss of a beloved father, they being Lena who resides at Doran, Marie, of Minneapolis, Tina, of Russell, Christina, who is a resident of Denmark, and Maggie, Lizzie, Peter, Nels and Chris, of Ruthton, who were in attendance with the exception of Chris who is in the Navy and could not be reached. To them is extended the sympathy of the neighborhood.
=== Obituary - Nels Olsen ===
LAST RITES TODAY FOR NELS T. OLSEN
Nels T. Olsen, for nearly a lifetime resident of this community, passed away at his home in Ruthton, Saturday evening, January 18, 1940, about 9:30 p.m., following a sudden heart attack. Mr. Olsen had been in poor health for some time, but felt reasonably well only shortly before he was stricken.
The death of Nels Olsen removes one of the most highly esteemed among Ruthton's circle of business men, and one who during more than 20 years in business here had won many friends. For more than 17 years he had been in partnership with Jack Nelson, under the firm name of Nelson and Olsen.
Funeral services were held today (Thursday), at the home at 1:30, and from the Danish Lutheran church, at 2:00 p.m., the Rev. H. Ibsen officiating. Pallbearers were Hans Hansen, Jack Nelson, George Sproull, Peter Nelson, jr., C.J. Pehrs and Phil Ives. Internment was in the Ruthton cemetery.
Nels T. Olsen was born in Racine, Wisconsin, April 3, 1887, the son of Chris and Bengta Olsen and at the time of his death was 53 years, nine months, and 15 days old. He came with his parents, at the age of three, to southwestern Minnesota, and grew to young manhood in the community north of Ruthton.
Mr. Olsen was married, November 3, 1934, to Angie Jensen, of Ruthton. He was a member of the Danish Lutheran church, and of Masonic Lodge No. 2442, of Ruthton.
Surviving the deceased are his wife, four sisters: Marie Olsen, of California; Mrs. John Christensen, of Doran, Minn.; Mrs. James Jensen, of Russell and Mrs. Alfred Sandberg of Pipestone.
The Tribune extends condolences to the bereaved wife and relatives.

== Research ==
=== Denmark ===
No Danish sources found so far. During the years that the family lived in Denmark, there was a census in 1850, 1855, 1860, 1870, and 1880.
It is possible that this is Christian's baptism record:
* The name "Lauritz Christian Olsen".
* The birthday is January 26, which is a few weeks after Christian's birthday, but it could be his baptism date.
* The mother on this record is Magdalene, which would make sense because it would mean Kristen probably named his daughter after his mother.
