Mr. Samuelson was 95 years of age, and had been ailing since early in the summer. He is survived by two sons, John, at home, and Oscar, of Colton, Washington, and one daughter, Mrs. Olaf Erickson of Stratford. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, 2 o'clock, from the home. Interment will be in the Hardin Twp. cemetery. Sincere sympathy is extended the bereaved. Stratford Courier October 3, 1940 GRAND OLD MAN OF COMMUNITY IS DEAD, WAS 95 YEARS OLD J.O. Samuelson, grand old man of this community, died in his home southwest of town Saturday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock. He had reached and passed the very ripe old age of 95 years. His death was due to the ailments of old age although he had been in fairly good health until a few weeks ago. He is survived by his wife, two sons, Oscar, of Colton, Washl., and John, at home, and a daughter, Mrs. Olof Erickson, of Stratford. Deceased was one of the oldest, if not the oldest, men in this community but almost up to the hour of his death was in full possession of his faculties and until a few weeks ago was able to do for and take care of himself. He had a striking personality, was always jolly and happy and his had been a pioneer figure of Hamilton and Webster counties for so many years that he was a real part of the community, respected by many friends and citizens. He came to this country from Sweden in 1868, returned there in 1871, married the girl of his choice, and returned to America in 1872 to live in Van Buren county until 1876 when he moved to the farm in this community which had since been his home. He was of the sturdy type of manhood who never faltered no matter how difficult the task he had to do, but shouldered his full part or more. It is men of his type who have formed the bulwark of this nation to make it the great country it is. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon in the family home at 2 o'clock and were conducted by the Rev. Murphy Duncan, pastor of the South Marion Methodist church. Interment was in the Hardin township cemetery. Stratford Courier October 10, 1940 Obituary J.O.
