The funeral of Mrs. Oliver Olson was held at the Lyndon Congregational Church Tuesday at 2 p.m. Mrs. Marie Rodee of Prophetstown sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" with Mrs. K. N. Fenn accompanist. Those caring for the flowers were Mrs. Fien Van Damme, Mrs. Harry Lyons, Mrs. Claude Frary, and Mrs. Jess Vrick. Pallbearers were Harry Ahrens, John Harms, Carl Thomas, Harry Elliott, Rex Glazier, and Fred Willis. The Rev. George O. A. McKinley of the Prophetstown-Lyndon Congregational Church's paid a splendid tribute to Mrs. Olson, choosing the 23rd Psalm Mrs. Olson, the former Emma Hazard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Hazard was born at Lyndon 78 years ago. She is the last of her family and with the exception of a second cousin, Mrs. Lillian Hamilton she is the last member of the Hazard family living in the town in which the name of Hazard was prominent in business, and all affairs of church, county and social circles. She was a member of the First Congregational Church of Lyndon, founded by the Rev. Elisha Hazard who ministered to the church for six years after he had been instrumental in securing its charter and acting as its first moderator. Down through more than 114 years the name of some member of the Hazard family has stood on the membership. Besides Mrs. Hamilton and members of Mrs. Olson's family the Hazard name has passed from the places in which they were so long identified in Lyndon. Another member, believed to be the last member living in the county is Mrs. Edna Hazard Loux of Sterling, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Burke Hazard. Many beautiful floral tributes spoke of the love and esteem in which Mrs. Olson had been held by her relatives and friends. Quiet and unassuming, Mrs. Olson was worthy of the love and faith of her acquaintances. Her faith in the life eternal was evidenced when she spoke of the beyond to her family only a few days before her passing when she talked to her daughter "I have started my journey to a strange and unknown land" she said. "But somehow it does not seem strange to me - only natural." It had the soothing effect as if saying "I am not afraid." Mrs. Olson loved life and her home. Her son-in-law and daughter Mr. and Mrs. Mack Leach will remain in the home to care for the father during his declining years.
