Arne C. Olson of Curtiss died Friday at the home of his son, Fred Olson, at Cherokee, where he had been the past few months during his illness. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the home and at the Lutheran church at Curtiss. Rev. W. L. Anderson officiating, and burial was made in the church cemetery. Six grandsons acted as pall bears: Wayne Olson, Harold Olson, Gilbert Olson, Morris Olson. Byron Olson and Lawrence Olson. The flower girls were Elda Olson and Dorothy Olson.

He was married to Ellen Johnson at Grue, Norway, 1870, and in 1871 they came to the United States, coming directly to Clark county. They are numbered among the old pioneers of the county, who, by hard and diligent work built a splendid farm.

Those from out of town present for the funeral were Oluf Olson and wife of Neillsville, Anton Olson, of Owen, Peter Olson of Ladysmith, Mr. and Mrs. Morris Olson and children, Morris, Della and Mrs. Evelyn Life, of Hilbert, WI.
The deceased was a kind and indulgent husband and father with generous impulses and never forgot the hospitable ways of the early pioneers.
