David, the death record for the Olof Olson who died in Chicago in 1940 indicated that his father was Peter O. Olson and gave his mother's name as Elna Orion, which is equivalent to Örjan. While Peter Olson is a fairly common name, Örjan is not so common, and it appears clear that the mother in the 1870 and 1880 census is Elna Örjansdotter who emigrated in 1865 with her husband and children. Also the headstone for Elna/Ellen indicated her husband was named Peter O. Olson. Therefore it is likely that the Olof Olson you found in the 1870 and 1880 census is the one who died in 1940 rather than your ancestor.
