The news which came to Centerville, Tuesday morning,of the death of Ole Ostrem, was a surprise and a shock for he had not been in bad health, and as far as it is known, had not even complained of feeling unwell. In the afternoon, Monday, he attended the funeral of his grandson, Boyd Alton, son of Mr and Mrs Oscar Ostrem. That evening he milked several cows, did other light chores, and seemed well. He walked to the farm of his son, Oscar, to get his car and on the way home suffered a slight stroke. He was able to, however, drive home and walked unaided to the home of his son, Arthur Ostrem, where he made his home. A physician was called, but Mr Ostrem did not respond to treatment and at about 2 o'clock, Tuesday morning, Mr Ostrem passed away. Ole Ostrem was one of the early pioneers of this vinicity. He came with his parents, to Turner county at the age of 15 in 1869 and has resided here ever since. One of the reoccurring incidents that Mr Ostrem was often to speak of, was the semi-annual trip to Sioux Falls SD which he took with his family in the early days. A day to go and a day to return, was the schedule which compared to the trip today, seems long. Of Mr Ostrem, it can be truly said, that his word was his bond. And no man in the vicinity enjoyed the respect and esteem of his neighbors, as he did. He was a charter member of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church, which was organized in the community in which he lived, about 5 miles southwest of Centerville, SD and was an active member. He was industrious and thrifty, as were most of the pioneers, and amassed a comfortable fortune during his active farming days. Ole Ostrem was born, June 19, 1854 in Emsland Sagan, Norway and died at Centerville SD, January 15, 1929 after a short illness. His parents were Torbjorn J. Ostrem and his wife, Ineborg (Bjornsdtr). Ole came to America with his parents at the age of 10 years (1864). After five years in Illnois, the family came to the Dakota Territory and took up a homestead in Turner County, later acquiring land across the road in Clay County at the ten county seat of Turner County on April 17, 1883. Mr Ostrem was united in marriage to Johanna Alendal, April 7, 1883 and they made their home on the farm SW of Centerville SD. Twelve children were born to this union. He is preceded in death by his wife in 1914 and three children, Clara, Josie, and Clarance. He is survived by his children; six daughters, Mrs Ole Tollefson of Hitchcock, Mrs A.M. Storvik of Montrose, Mrs Chas. Manuel of Sioux Falls, Mrs Isaak Olson, Mrs Louis Olson, Mrs Thor Holte all of Centerville SD.; three sons, Oscar, Tom, and Arthur all of Centerville; one brother T.T. Ostrem and one sister Mrs Osmond Hattervig both of Centerville SD. Funeral services were held today from the home and Emmanuel Lutheran Church with Rev. Giselquist officiating. Interment is in the Holland-Neighborhood Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction of A.H. Gregerson. All of Mr Ostrem children came from their several homes to attend the last services of their father.
