Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, November 26, 1942 THE OBITUARY OF ANDREW OAKESON ? Andrew Oakeson, son of Martin and Anna Oakeson was born in Ostra Sallerup, Horby parish, Skane, Sweden, July 14, 1862, and ended his earthly pilgrimage November 21, 1942, following three weeks of illness in a Lincoln hospital. At his departure he had reached the ripe age of 80 years, 4 months and 7 days. When but a boy of seven he came to this country with his parents and lived in Chicago for a brief time. Then the family moved to Mead, Nebraska in 1870, where they settled on a homestead. Thus Mr. Oakeson was a Nebraska old settler, for he has lived in this state over seventy years. In 1881 he was married to Anna Anderson in Wahoo. This marriage was blessed with one son, Martin, who was born to them. This marriage was short, for while the first son was still in his infancy, the mother died. On December 27, 1889 Mr. Oakeson was married to Mathilda Nelson of Swedeburg and to this happy union was born six children. Altho' his first marriage was brief, his second marriage was a long one, for Mr. Oakeson's death was the first to break the family ties in 53 years. He is therefore deeply mourned by his wife, two daughters, and five sons, Martin of Tillamook, Ore., Olander of Lincoln, Mrs. Olga Haggstrom, Wahoo, Mrs. Edith Lindell, Fremont, Carl, Wahoo, Oscar, Wolbach, and Elmer of St. Paul. In addition he leaves 27 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Anna Petersen of Turloch, Calif., and Mrs. Elsie Barlow of Bloomfield, and other relatives and friends. Mr. Oakeson had lived an active and robust life. It was three years ago that his health began to fail. Besides residing in Ceresco, he lived 28 years on a farm near St. Paul. He was interested in the community program of the Farmers Union. As a Christian he was an active church worker in the strength of his days. He has the honor to be one of the charter members of the Ceresco Covenant church, and served as its first chairman, and was also a member of the building committee when the present church was built in 1906. While he lived in the Fairdale community he was for several years the superintendent of the Methodist Sunday School. He was a good and willing neighbor and always helpful whenever there was a need. As a father he nurtured his children in the fear and aadmonition of the Lord. Peace be upon the memory of his long and useful life. Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon from the late home and the Covenant church with Rev. Ebert Turnquist officiating, and Rev. O. W. Strombom of Lincoln, an old friend of the family assisting. Music was contributed by Mrs. L. F. Rudeen, Mrs. Roy Anderson, and the Rev. and Mrs. Strombom. Pall bearers were Olof Olson, Nels Olson, Augustine Erickson, Alfred Burklund, Carl J. Johnson, and August Dahlstrom. Nelson Funeral home of Ceresco handled arrangements.
