PAUL PAULSON - 1919
Death of Paul Paulson After a Long and Honorable Life
(Gully Advance, February 14, 1919)
Died, at the home of his son, Carl, in this village, on February 10, 1919, Paul Paulson, aged 83 years and five months. He had been in his usual good health and retired to his sleeping room as usual, and no doubt went to sleep like a tired child, but he never rose from his slumber, but died in peaceful rest, to all appearances without pain or suffering. After a long, busy life he died as he had lived honored, trusted, and respected. He reared his own monument, while he lived in the hearts of those nearest and dearest to him. He was a man of good habits, moral character, and sturdy constitution, and he continued to be active in his daily pursuits till long past the age at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of busy people. To this end there is no doubt that his active life and pleasant disposition largely contributed.
But he is gone. Another name is stricken from that ever lessening roll of our old settlers, and his accustomed place in the household is vacant, a good home is left to attest how badly they will miss him. It must be so- these tender human ties cannot be severed without a pang. Yet, in such a death there is really no cause for grief. His life's toil was done, and well done. Like a weary traveler who has reached his destination post, tired of life's duties and cares, he laid down to rest.
Deceased, born in Sweden in 1834, and came to this country with his family in 1882; was one of the first settlers on a claim in the town of Eden in the early 80's and continued to reside there until a few years ago when he retired from farming and moved to this place. Mrs. Paulson died about 8 years ago. The daughters are: Mrs. Louis Olson, Mrs. Carl Martinson of Eden, and Mrs. C.A. Kjos, of Montana. The sons are: Carl and Nick of Gully, Paul of Eden, and Lars of Trail. Funeral services were conducted at the house Thursday forenoon and at 1 o'clock at the Olga church, interment taking place there, with Rev. Stensgaard the officiating clergyman.
