DORCHESTER HERALD (Dorchester, Clark County, Wis.) 10/29/1915 Dahlberg, O. A. (1846 - 21 OCT 1915) O. A. Dahlberg
died in a Chicago Hospital last Thursday, Oct. 21, 1915 of heart
disease. His remains were shipped here Monday and buried beside
those of his wife (Dorchester Norwegian), the Rev. G. L Bursack
conducting the last sad rites. Mr. Dahlberg will
be remembered by several older residents, as he conducted a tannery
here for over twelve years, some time ago. Family Notes I took some photos of the stones for the
Dahlbergs that are burried in the Dorchester Cemetery and have also
added some photos of the people as well - Anne Jr's marker is only
barely visible now. Her obituary says that she died of 'lung
fever', which was probably pneumonia. Her mother Anne Sr. died the
day she was born which implies that she died from complications of
the birth. Anne Larson married Oke Abraham Dahlberg in
1878. Two years and five months after her death, Eleanora Jensen
married O. A. on 24 Dec 1891, adopting his four children by Anne.
Their first child together, Clarence, lived only a few
days (b. 30 Oct 1892 d. Nov 1892) and is buried next to
Anne Jr. O. A. is buried next to Clarence. Eleanora Jensen (b. 7 Mar 1873 Valton, WI; d.
5 Oct 1942 Janesville, WI) is the daughter of Andreas
Frederick Ferdinand Jensen and Huldah Small, who donated the land
for this cemetery. All three are buried in the Greenwood Cemetery
in Reedsburg, Sauk Co, WI. Several of her brothers & a sister
are also buried in this cemetery. Dan the
