SOLDIER, IA., Jan 10: Mrs. Alfred M. Olson died last Friday morning, January 7th at 3:30 o'clock of a complication of diseases chief among them being kidney trouble, at her home south east of Soldier. Mrs. Olson had been sick for some time, but was so brave and cheerful throughouth her suffering that only those most intimate with her, realized the possible length of time she had to live, so that when she yielded to the Grim Reaper, the whole community was shocked and grieved by the sad news. Cora Edith Nelson, was born at Soldier, Iowa, July 23rd, 1892 and was at the time of her death, 23 years, 5 months and 24 days old. Having grown to womanhood in this community she was well known and loved by everyone, for her good sense and sweet womanly ways. After finishing school here, she accepted a position in the Norby& Dawson general merchandise store, and proved herself an efficient and capable saleslady, gaining the admiration and esteem of all the patrons of the store as well as the employees themselves. She resigned her position to become the bride of Alfred M. Olson, January 20, 1915, and although she was greatly missed by all those who were used to being greeted by her cheery smile and kind words, still all were glad to know of the happiness which would be hers for possibly many years, and when the sad news came, that in spite of all loving hands could do, she was called away from this life in all the beauty and richness of young womanhood, a cloud of gloom was cast over the entire community. The largely attended funeral services were held from the Norweigan Lutheran church south of Soldier, of which she had been a member from early life, Rev Sunner officiating, who preached a beautiful and comforting sermon, and who also sang a beautiful solo "Face to Face." Many friends were present, all of whom most bitterly regret the loss of their beloved friend. After the sermon each, in single file, marched passed(sic) the remains for a last glimpse of the dear face. Then the family took a farewell look at the remains of this loved one. She was gently borne from the church to the grave on the hillside, which had been draped and beautified by loving hands, and here she was placed for her last long sleep. Those who are left to mourn her untimely death are the young husband, Alfred M. Olson, the mother, Mrs. Anna Nelson, two sisters, Mrs. Julius Skow, and Mrs. Ole C. Norby, one brother, Archie O. Nelson, all of Soldier, besides a host of relatives and friends. What now seems our loss may prove our gain, And blessings oft wear the mask of pain. Love comes disguised in afflictions' dress. And sorrow's path leads to happiness. The "never was sick," never has known How sweet life is when the pains have flown; And many a one as she helpless lies, Learn how to love and to sympathise. Pride oft is vanquished and hatreds cease, While many a restless soul finds peace. Oh! yes, it is sometimes good to go Near the River of Death, where the dark waters flow, And looking across the cold stream see, The glorious light of Eternity. Faith then is strengthened and love grows bright, And we know that the Master's ways are right— God's ways are not ours, but God knows best, And the more we trust Him the more we are blest source: C.J.
