OLD SETTLERS PASS AWAY
Death of Mrs. O. Z. Olin at Wheaton, Ill.
Mrs. O.Z. Olin, Sr., for over fifty years a resident of Waukesha, died at the home of her daughter, Miss Nora Olin at Wheaton. Ill., December 18. She was in her eightieth year. Mrs. Olin had been in feeble health for some time and the cold weather increased her infirmities. Her death was the result of the ailments incident to old age. Mrs. Olin's body was brought to Waukesha and funeral services were heldat(sic) the home of her son, O.Z. Olin, Jr. McCall St., Friday afternoon. Rev. I.I. Cory officiating. Many old friends and neighbors were present, besides all the members of her immediate family--her husband, O.Z. Olin, her sons, Harvey C., of Hoboken, N.J. and O.Z. of this city, and her daughter, Miss Nora Olin, who is connected with WheatonCollege(sic). Interment was in Prairie Home cemetery.
Lucy Loraine Church was born at Fair Haven, Vermont, March 1, 1822. When about seven years of age she removed with her parents to New York, living there until 1835 when they removed to Milwaukee. This was the year Milwaukee was settled and laid out as a village; only ten years before Solomon Juenau(sic) came to the place as a fur trader. After a resident of four years in Milwaukee the family came to Prairieville in 1839 to make their home. In, Lucy Church was untied in marriage to Orson Z. Olin, with whom she lived for 55 years. For fifty-four years she lived in Waukesha. Here there were born to her live children, tow of whom died; a daughter at the age of nine and a son at the age of twenty-six. In 1892 she with her husband went to make their home with their son, Harvey, in Oak Park and recently in New York. Last summer they made an extended visit with their son, O.Z. Olin Jr. ofthis(sic) city and they were spending the winter with their daughter, Miss Nora Olin, at the time of Mrs. Olin's death.
Her long residence in Waukesha her to a host of friends who mourn her loss. She was a woman of character and all who knew her loved her. She was always thoughtful of those in need and many speak in gratitude thoughtful acts of kindness. She was a faithful member of the Congregational church in Waukesha for fifty three years. She united with the church a year after its organization moved by letter to a Presbyterian church Park, nine years ago. Rev. Otis F. Cartis, the first pastor of the Congregational church in Waukesha was her first pastor and united her in marriage to O.Z. Olin. She was always interested in missionary work and read with deep interest the missionary magazines.
One of the fruits of this long intelligent interest may be found in the fact that her son, Harvey is now treasurer of the National Home Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church, with office in New York.
