Andrea Olson was born near Tronhjem, Norway, August 26, 1846. In 1889 she came to this country and lived in Chicago. In 1891 the family moved to Greenwood, Clark County, where her husband died March 1, 1917.


Two children are left to mourn her death, they being Martin Johnstone, with whom she made her home since the death of her husband, and Inga Johnstone. She also leaves two grandchildren. One brother in Norway also survives.


Deceased had been ill since spring and died September 20, 1925, having reached the age of 79 years and 25 days.


She was a kind and loving woman and her death will be a great loss to the relatives and friends.
