Lewis Olson 1863-1938
Trying to find any information on my great grandfather Lewis Olson. His mothers name was Betsy, born in 1843, and I am not very clear on his fathers name. On the census in the 1875 Minnesota Territorial & State Census his name is spelled Olivie Olson, although NO such name appears anywhere with the DOB of 1842. Louis was born in Minnesota and his parents were both born in Norway. As for Betsy she was widowed before 1910, and at that time was living in Egan, South Dakota. She is buried in Hillside Cemetery in Egan, as is Lewis and his wife Marthaline Olson. I know this sounds jumbled, but if there are any names that ring bells for anyone, your help is greatly appreciated.
