Notes:

BIOGRAPHY: She is mentioned in the obituary for her brother Charles. She was living in
1950 at the time of brother Franks funeral.

The 1900 census shows Olive living in Monroe Twp.Andrew Co., Missouri with "her uncle
Henry Borh". He was the husband of her aunt Martha (Castle) Bohr (which is shown as
Behr in the 1880 census). Her living there was due to the fact her mother Mary died a few
years earlier and her father George (who was blind) may have felt that he was not able to
take care of her. In the same census, her sister Emma is a "lodger" in Lincoln Co.,
Washington, and her brothers Frank and Charles (along with George) are living with
brother Sebastian. When she was a little older, she and her two cousins Bessie May and
Hazel Weipert went to San Francisco to live and work. Later, she and Bessie moved to
Los Angeles.
Olive worked for Westinghouse for many years there. It has been said that with her
attractive looks and outgoing personality, she could have been in the movies. She went by
the nichname Ollie. She never married. She had a long time friend "Jack" who was never
able to obtain a divorce from his wife and marry Ollie.
