Dennis Eugene Olson, the son of Bert and Lena Olson, was born on January 30, 1937, in Swea City, Iowa. He graduated from Algona High School with the class of 1955. Dennis was united in marriage to Phyllis Smith on June 1, 1958, at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. The couple were happily married for 67 years.
