COLUMBUS--Lawrence C. Olson age 89 went to join his beloved Kathryn, on Monday, March 26, 2018 to dance again. Lawrence was born on July 13, 1928 in the town of Leeds to John and Hazel (Hegna) Olson.

In 2007 he came back to Columbus and worked for Farmers Implement until retirement in July of 2016. He served the farming industry his whole life and it gave him great pride to provide his best service to five generations of farmers.
