He came directly to this county, and spent the summer at Coon Prairie, where he was employed in farming. In the fall, he went to Freeport, Illinois, and worked at his trade. In 1861, he again visited Vernon County, and was married here July 20 to Maren O., daughter of Hans Hanson, who settled near Bloomingdale in 1855. He returned to Freeport with his bride and resumed work at his trade, remaining there until 1863, when he returned to Vernon county, and purchased a farm of Nels Hanson two and one-half miles from Bloomingdale. He lived there eight years, then traded his farm for a gristmill at Bloomingdale. He carried on this mill until 1878, when he traded it for a farm on sections 25 and 26 of town 1 2 north, of I'ange 4 west, embraced in the town of Kickapoo. There was a large frame barn on this farm and he has since completed the farmhouses, and is now well provided with buildings. His farm now contains 202 acres of land, a portion of which is in the Kickapoo valley. Mr. and Mrs. Olson are the parents of nine children - Annie M., Minnie A., Olaf M., Marcus II, John A., Hans N., Hannah L., Ida A. and Charles Edwin. They are taking good care to educate their children. Their oldest daughter, Annie, is a teacher in the public schools."
