Oscar and Alice Olson
1927 and 1977
Oscar was born and grew up in Lake Park Minnesota. He married Alice Erickson, the daughter of Louis J Erickson and his wife Bertha Jacobson, on October 11, 1927 in Lake Park.
After their marriage Oscar and Alice farmed for many years south of Lake Park, where they raised their son, Lloyd. They moved into town in 1953.
Oscar was a very active man, and one of his pursuits was family history. Much of the information about the Grover family is the direct result of his efforts. Oscar was treasurer of Eksjo Lutheran Church for 17 years, a charter member of Wild Rice Electric Association, Lake Park School Board member, secretary-treasurer of the Lake Park and Cuba Insurance Co., treasurer of the Lake Park Historical Association, and a narrowly defeated candidate for the state legislature in 1950. In 1941 Oscar and Alice won Master Farmer and Homemaker award for Becker County at the Red River Valley Winter Shows.
Oscar died on April 15, 1979 in Lake Park and was buried in the Ekjso Lutheran Church Cemetery, rural Lake Park MN.
Alice was born on November 18, 1902 and grew up in Lake Park. From 1986 until her death on January 12, 1995, she lived at the Sunnyside Nursing Home near Lake Park.
