Olson, Martin (? - 18 Augl 1926)

Martin Olson of Curtiss, Clark County, Wis., while shingling the Fred Laabs residence, last Wednesday, was instantly killed when he lost his footing and fell from the roof, a distance of twenty feet. According to reports, he fell head first, striking his head on the cement sidewalk, which caused his death almost instantly.

Martin was a young man and had always made his home with his mother on their farm near Curtiss, but, for the past few months, he had been working for Bill Williams in Curtiss.
