• Biography: History of Fillmore County, MN, 1912, Fillmore County, MN. OLNESS LARS O.
BOOK - HISTORY OF FILLMORE COUNTY, MN., VOLS. 1 & 2, PUBLISHED IN 1912. Lars 0. Olness, one of the early settlers, was born in Sogen, Norway, there receiving his education and fitting himself for the occupation of a farmer. In 1866 he came to America and found his way to Minnesota. In 1871 he located in Arendahl township, where he acquired land, which he grubbed, broke and developed. Like other early settlers in the vicinity, he endured many privations. Water was one and a half miles distant, the faithful wife carried it as the husband worked in the fields. Gradually, as the years passed, their efforts were rewarded, good crops repaid their toil, and they became more and more prosperous. Mr. Olness was clerk of the school board for a period of nine years and for twenty-eight years he has been honored with the office of trustee of the Hague Norwegian Lutheran Church at Peterson. Among business interests, aside from his general farming, he owns shares in the local creamery and elevator. Mr. Olness was married a short time after his arrival in America to Margrethe Nelson Hyldesgard, also a native of Sogen. Mr. and Mrs. Olness had ten children. Three boys died in infancy. Annie is now Mrs. Carl A. Luckassen. Susie married Gustave Gorder and died in 1901. Ingar O. is Mrs. John Gorder. Louise N. married Bernt C. Benson and died in 1904. Nels John married Bertha Hermanson. Ole T. lives with his father at Peterson. Emma C. is the wife of Edward O. Boyum. Mrs. Lars Olness died June 4, 1907. In 1904 Mr. and Mrs. Olness retired from farming and moved to Peterson.
