Here is a news article about the death of Elizabeth and Ole Andreas' son, Otto Bert Knutson who died in July or August, 1895 due to being struck in the head by a baseball. I was hoping the article would have listed his siblings as I'm having a difficult time verifying the 10th child of Elizabeth and Ole as well as which of their children had died prior to the US Census of 1900 and 1910. This article appeared in the Dixon Telegraph, August 5, 1895.
