  Text: OLE KNUDSON STORLIE ‏(NORWAY)‏ Another old pioneer has one to his final rest.
Ole Knudson Storlie died at his home in the Town of Norway, January 24, 1891, of old age and general debility.
Deceased was born in Norway, Europe, April 1, 1805. Emigrated to this country in 1843, locating in the Town of Norway, Racine County, the same year, where he continually resided up to the time of his death.
He was twice married, leaving to mourn his loss a widow and seven children, five of whom are by first marriage Gullick O., Knud O and Burchard O. Storlie and Mrs. Ann Immel, all of Trempealeau County, this state, and Ole O. Storlie of Burlington, Wisconsin, whose fame as an inventor is well known throughout the Northwest.
By his second wife are Abraham and Andrine, who live with their mother on the old homestead. Two children have gone before their father to the land “from whence no traveler returns”.
His disposition was of a kind that had not become embittered by the trials and hardships incident to pioneer life, of which the rising generation knows nothing except by hearsay, but honest, jolly and open hearted - characteristics that remained with him through life. Beginning life in this country in poverty, by industry and economy, he was enabled to leave the family in affluence.

The funeral occurred last Friday, the remains being followed by a large concourse of friends and relatives to their final resting place in the Norwegian Lutheran cemetery. The services were conducted by the Rev. A.L.Huus, of the Lutheran Evangelical church. Although the deceased had lived beyond the allotted time of man, yet there is at home a “vacant chair.”
It was a consolation to the family to know that the passing away was quiet, “like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
