R. Smith, of Springbrook, which occurred at his home in Butterfield, last Saturday. >From the Butterfield Advocate we take the following obituary: "Ole Andrew Ulvestad was born in Arendahl, Fillmore county, Minnesota, April 23, 1869. He passed away at 1 o'clock Saturday, Jan. 7, 1933, being 63 years, 8 months and 15 days old at the time of his death. "In 1870, when he was one year old, Mr. Ulvestad moved with his parents to Rosendale township, in Watonwan county. He attended the schools of Rosendale township and Madelia high school, where Mr. Hammond, who later became governor of Minnesota, was his teacher. Mr. Ulvestad later attended Mankato Normal School for two years. [snip] "On October 10, 1895, he was united in marriage to Josephine Johnson at the Long Lake church, Rev. Thorkveen officiating. To this unison three children were born: Louise (Mrs. W. R. Smith) of Madelia, Elvin and Jerome of Butterfield. These three children together with the widow mourn the loss of the kind, loving father. One grandson, Ole Elvin Smith, also survives. His aged mother and one sister survive, three brothers preceding him in death. "Mr. Ulvestad was a faithful member of the Lutheran church all his life. He was confirmed by the late Rev. L. E. Green and has been a member of the Lutheran church in Butterfield since it was organized. During his active career he served on the village council for five years and was mayor of the village of Butterfield for two years. "For the last two and one-half years he has been ailing almost constantly with heart trouble, but the immediate cause of his death was a stroke. "Funeral services will be held on Thursday afternoon at 1:30 at the house and at 2:00 o'clock at the Lutheran church. Rev. Evenson and Rev. Holtan will officiate. Burial will be in the family lot in the Butterfield cemetery. The pallbearers will be former friends and business associates: J. O. Ness, Gust Miller, A. B. Schwieter, Chas. Dueffert, N. E. Gustafson and C. O. Olson." [IT:(MADELIA TIMES-MESSENGER, Madelia, Watonwan County, Minnesota):IT] [repetition snipped]
