Lorin Olson, aged 20 years, died early Monday morning at an Omaha hospital where he was taken on Friday evening. Death was due to infection of a boil on his face. He visited relatives in South Omaha a short time ago and spent a great deal of his time at the stock yards. While there an infection was supposed to have been contracted while there. Everything that loving hands could do was done to save his life and he was taken to Omaha Friday evening in hopes of getting help. The deceased was a young man in the prime of life, having celebrated his birthday Thursday, Oct. 4th. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Olson and leaves, beside his heartbroken parents, four sisters who will miss his loving kindness. They are Mrs. Nellie Hover of Battle Creek, Nebr., Mrs. Regania Hughes of Washington, D.C., Mrs. Madeline Harman, Omaha and Miss Ilene at home. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church at Blair Wednesday at 9 o'clock and burial was made in the Blair cemetery.
