SEVERSON IS KILLED YESTERDAY. Local
Young Man Meets Death Near Darien, on His Way Here.
Homeward bound
in the big threeton gravel truck that he had driven for Parker Olson all season
while engaged in road work near Dundee, Ill., Olaf Severson, of this city, met
a tragic death late yesterday afternoon when his truck went off the road in the
vicinity of Darien, and crashed in a telephone pole.
He was alone in the
truck, and as far as known, no one witnessed the accident which happened about
5:30 o'clock, but it is believed that either he was unable to see the road on
account of slect on his windshield or else the truck slewed from the more or less
icy road. The collision in front of the farm of Mrs. Chas. Weed. some threemiles
southeast of Darien, and members of her family, hearing the crash, hastened out
and carried into the house the young man who had been thrown thru the windshield
and who died half an our later. Just what injury caused his death is not known
but the left side of his face was badly cut up and his left eye and both hands
were bruised. The Remains, which were
removed to Delavanfrom the Weed home, were brought here this forenoon by Undertaker
Melvin Halverson and Isaac Anderson, a brother-in-law of the deceased, but arrangements
for the funeral have not been made yet. The
deceased, who was in his 30th year, was the second son of the late Mrs. and Mr.
John M. Severson of this locality. He was unmarried and leaves four brothers,
Clarence, Arthur, Theodore and Carl and two sisters, Mrs. Isaac Anderson, of 316
S. Franklin Street, and Mrs. Oluf Hanson, residing on the Tusler farm in Rutland.
