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.

Håkan gift Hanna Hansdotter den 31 Maj 1833 i Vånga, Kristianstads län, Sverige. Hanna (dotter till Hans Jonsson och Olu Mattisdotter) föddes den 14 Jun 1811 i Filkesboda 3, Vånga, Kristianstads län, Sverige; dog den 4 Jan 1856 i Goodhue, Minnesota, USA. [Familjeöversikt] [Familjediagram]

Noteringar:

Ole Hawkinson; one of the earlier settlers of Featherstone township, now a retired farmer living in Red Wing at 1245 East avenue, was born in Sweden, November 9, 1833, son of Hawkin Olson and Hannah Hanson, natives of that country. The father was a carpenter by trade. In his native country he followed that trade in connection with farming, and in 1854 came to America, locating at Saint Charles, Ill., still following his trade. Soon afterward he came to Red Wing. For some years he was a carpenter and during the latter part of his life manufactured organs in this city. He died in 1897 at the age of 87 years. His wife died in January, 1856. Ole, after receiving his education in the public schools, worked with his father in his native land, and came to America with the family in 1854. In the spring of 1855 he came to Red Wing, and in 1857 located in the township of Featherstone, this county. He took up 160 acres, cleared and broke the land, erected a house and suitable barns, and carried on general farming. His efforts were crowned with success and in 1903 he decided to leave the more strenuous activities of farm life to a younger generation. Accordingly he came to Red Wing, taking up his residence at his present location, which he had purchased in 1889, and where he is now enjoying the ease which he so well deserves after so many years of toil and labor. He is a Republican in politics, and a member of the Swedish Lutheran Church. For many years he was director of his school district in Featherstone. Mr. Hawkinson was married at Red Wing October 30, 1857, to Kiersti Nelson, who shared with him the discomforts of pioneer life, as well as the ease of his later years. She was the daughter of Nels Nelson and Nellie Parsons, natives of Sweden, who came to America and took up their home in Featherstone township, remaining until the time of their death. To Mr. and Mrs. Hawkinson twelve children were born-- William, now of Oregon; Hannah, now of Red Wing; Nellie, now of Hastings, Minn. (now Mrs. J. H. Featherstone); Howard and Edward, now of California; Ferdinand; Oscar, now of Red Wood Falls, Minn.; Theodore; Calma, now of Red Wing; Lovenia, now Mrs. Otto Taylor, of Northfield, Minn.; Elmer, of California, and Ernnest, of Texas. These children are all well thought of in their respective communities, and their respect and affection is making glad the declining years of their parents.
