Surnames: Oleson, Bray, Kjelland, Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VEC.2ACI/3676 Message Board Post: Everett Daily Herald 6/18/1923 Tobias C. Oleson, 87 years old, died Saturday afternoon. Surviving are five children: Mrs. E. T. Bray, of 3004 Everett ave at whose home he died, Mrs Frank Wagner and Mrs. Leonard Foss in Wisconsin, Adolph Kjelland, Everett; and William Kjelland of Snohomish, and a brother Ole Kjelland in MN. Mr. Oleson was a civil war veteran and a member of John Buford post No. 89, G.A.R. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the chapel at Broadway and Wall. The Rev. O.J. Edwards will officiate. The G.A.R. will have charge of the services at Evergreen cemetery. I cannot find Tobias in any census I do find Mrs Ella Bray with husband Eugene T. in 1920 but Tobias is not noted living with them. Nor is he living with anyone named Kjelland in WA. Tobias served in 5th MN Inf. as private I did not find any pension record for Mr. Oleson. Would love to hear from anyone researching this family.
