Contributor SSS provided the following information:
Ole Olsen was born in Sandager, Vester Ulslev, Lolland, Denmark as Ole Larsen (since his father's name was Lars). When his family moved to America he took his father's last name, Olsen. While in Nebraska he went by "Ole Olsen" up to the time of his death. I'm not sure why his last name was posted as Olson, the Swedish/English spelling, for his obit/death certificate.
