Ole Ostlund
April 26, 1926 — November 16, 2019
Ole Arlo Ostlund, 93, of Barnesville (formerly of Rothsay), died Saturday, November 16, 2019, at Valley Care and Rehab in Barnesville.
Ole was born April 26, 1926 on the family farm north east of Rothsay, the son of Ole and Anna (Rudh) Ostlund. He was baptized and confirmed at Hamar Lutheran Church, Rothsay. He attended country school, District No. 82 and graduated from Rothsay High School in 1944.
After graduating from high school, Ole was employed for a short time at the Farmers State Bank in Rothsay. He later began grain farming and also raised turkeys. Ole was a very hard-working farmer and enjoyed farming with his brothers.
On April 19, 1952, Ole was united in marriage to Doris Johnson in Rothsay. The couple made their home in rural Rothsay, where they farmed and raised turkeys. They retired from farming in 1989 and moved to Barnesville. They enjoyed their many years of retirement in Barnesville as well as their cabin on Lake Lizzie.
Ole cherished his time with his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and his neighbors and many friends. He had a kind heart and was very generous to his family, always taking everyone out for special occasions, birthdays, and holidays.
Preceding him in death are his parents, Ole and Anna; sisters, Laura, Minnie, Olga, and Eunice; brothers, Leon, William, Roald, Norman, Vernon, and Reuben, and his wife of 67 years, Doris on September 7, 2019.
