  	CALLED TO HIS MAKER Hakan Olson Passes Away in His Eighty-Eighth Year Hakan Olson died at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Pfeiffer, Monday afternoon, January 3, of general debility. Although he had been failing in health for the past three months, his death came rather unexpectedly. He fell asleep calmly and peacefully. Mr. Olson was born in Biekinge, Sweden, December 28, 1810. He emigrated to America in 1854, settling in St. Charles, Illinois. He came to Red Wing on May 5, 1855, where he has since resided. He was left a widower in May 1856. He endured many hardships during the first years of his residence here. He was a cabinet-maker by trade, but also had the occupation of wagon-maker and organ-builder. The first work he performed in Red Wing was the building of six wheelbarrows. As there was no timber here at that time, he procured it in Wacouta under a great many difficulties. Mr. Olson has always been a devoted Christian and has been very active in his Christian work. He was the first man to take steps toward the organizing of the Swedish Lutheran Church in this city, and it was through his efforts that Dr. Norelius held his first service on the evening of September 1, 1865. He has ever been an active worker in the Swedish Lutheran church, until the last few years, when on account of his declining health, he was compelled to desist. Mr. Olson has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Pfeiffer, for the past twenty-five years. He leaves six children: O. Hawkinson of Featherstone; Mrs. O. Olson of Cannon Falls; Mrs. A. Swanson, Mrs. C. Bowman, Mrs. J. G. Gustafson and Mrs. J. C. Pfeiffer of this city. He also leaves thirty-one grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon at 1:30, at the home of J. C. Pfeiffer on Main street and at 2:00 o'clock from the Swedish Lutheran church. The Rev. G. Rast will officiate, assisted by the Rev. J. A. Leas.
