Robert Olson
(23 Apr 1905 - 6 Apr 1930)
Mr. and Mrs. Oluf Olson received a telephone message Monday that
their son Robert had died suddenly Sunday night at his home at
Stockbridge, Wisconsin. He had been sick with Scarlet Fever, and
apparently well on the way to recovery when heart failure set in,
ending suddenly in death.
Robert was born in the town of Hull, Marathon County, April 23,
1905. He came with his parents, when they moved to Neillsville in
1914, entering school here and graduating from high school in the
class of 1923. He was an industrious student and took part also in
various outside class activities. During vacations he was always
anxious and willing to work and gave the best of satisfaction
wherever he was employed. Bob, as he was called, was loved by all
who knew him for his many fine qualities. After graduating he
worked for a time in Brauer's Clothing Store and then took up
electrical work, being employed for some time by the Western
Electric Company of Chicago. Later he went to Stockbridge, Wis.,
where he took up cheesemaking and was since employed in a cheese
factory there. Last October he was married to Miss Marie Tilling,
who survives him.
The funeral was held at Stockbridge Tuesday afternoon. Owing to the
contagiousness of Scarlet Fever the funeral was private. His
parents and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Holt and Mrs. Ewald Schwarze drove
to Stockbridge to attend the funeral.
Besides his wife and parents he leaves eight brothers and sisters:
Gilbert, attending the State University Barbara, librarian in South
Milwaukee Mrs. Ellen Johnson at home Sarah, Mrs. Ewald Schwarze of
Greenwood Fern, Mrs. Albert Holt of Neillsville Kenneth, Mildred
and Oluf at home in Neillsville.
