History of Stony Brook Township by Louis O. Foss From the first Settlement to 1918 p254 OLAVES, HELMER AND CARL K. OLSON : Olaves K. Olson, Helmer K. Olson and Carl K. Olson are also sons of the pioneer with the many sons, Kittel Olson. These young men are single. All the sons of Mr. Olson are husky and not afraid to lend a helping hand when necessary, to which the writer can testify. He was stuck with his threshing rig at Lightning Lake, and Martin, Olaves and either Carl or Helmer gave able assistance until the machine was out of the mire. They are straightforward honest men, and their wives are good wives and mothers
