I know that next to Ole Olson, Ole Johnson has to be the "mostest."

However, the one I am seeking information on lived with his family in
Ridgley Township, Nicollet County, with his family in 1900 and 1910.

The Minnesota Death Index shows that an Ole Olson died in Nicollet County on
1 Feb 1915 and we think there is a strong possibility that this is "our
guy."

My question is this: Is there a library in Nicollet County that maintains a
collection of obituaries? If not, what are the likely newspapers that we
need to search for a possible obit?

How about cemeteries? I couldn't find any on-line transcriptions for
Nicollet County. If there are none, perhaps there are books and we could get
a look-up from some kind soul.

Any suggestions welcomed.
