Note: Olive died on 11 February 1973 at the Holzer Medical Center. The certificate shows that she was married and was 63 years old. No autopsy was performed. Cause of death was not given.
My aunt Mamie Niday Robinson was Olive's sister-in-law. I remember hearing from her what happend at that time. Olive was driving home from work when she was stopped by an Ohio State Patrol officer who had noticed that she was weaving on the road as she drove. For whatever reason, he let her proceed, and soon after she was taken to the Holzer Medical Center, having had a stroke.
I remember hearing that Joanne Barlow, Olive's daughter, begged her mother to live; but she couldn't. Very touching. Olive was a lovely person.
