Death of O.K. Swenson
On Christmas day after a two weeks sickness, O. K. Swenson died at his home in Holmes City. Mr. Swenson was an old settler and a highly respected citizen and was about 47 years of age. He leaves a widow and several children. The three married daughters are, Mrs. John Smith, Glenwood and Mrs. John Bergstrom and Mrs. John Hagstrom of Holmes City. The funeral was on Monday, the Rev. Mr. Jensen officiating. The deceased was a Norwegian and leaves a nice farm property.

Note: Ole Knute Swenson was a brother to Andrew Knudson. See Andrew Knudson information on this website.
Ole was baptized 22 Sep 1850, Buskerud, Norway
Would you be able to verify where the last name of Ole’s spouse Kristie was derived from? You list her as Kristie Hansdatter. Is it in the church records? I am still searching for Kristie’s family in America and Norway.
