He suffered injuries in an accident last fall, however, from which he never fully recovered, and was taken ill some time before his death, although he was up and about part of the time. John Hovelson was born on November 1, 1849 in Norway and came to this country at the age of eighteen months. His folks settled in Dane county, Wisconsin, and he lived there until he was 17 years of age. He then moved to Yankton, S.D., and lived there a year, moving from that place to Mitchell county, which has since been his home. He married Jane Paulson on March 19, 1871, and they lived together for more than sixty-one years. Seven children were born to this union, three of who precede him in death-two dying in infancy, and Dr. Henry Hovelson passed away twenty years ago. Surviving besides his wife, are Nellie, Laura Whipple, and Roy, all of Osage, and Albert, Waterloo. Mr.and Mrs. Hovelson moved from their farm in Rock township in 1893 to Osage, and with his brother conducted a grocery store for five years. Then he sold his interest and purchased, a year later, the Chute elevator, and the Muffley elevator. He has conducted the Hovelson elevator for more than thirty years, and gained a wide acquaintance over the county because of his business activities. Mr. Hovelson enjoyed the reputation of being a just and pleasant proprietor, a good neighbor and friend. Funeral services were held on Thursday at 2 o'clock at the home in charge of the Osage Lutheran church, and burial was made in the Osage cemetery.
