     "NETTIE A OLDS.—A FREE THOUGHT CHURCH AT McMINNVILLE, OREGON.

"THE portrait of Nettie A. Olds appears as the frontispiece of this number of this Magazine. We also herewith present our readers with a picture of a part of the interior of the church of which Miss Olds is the pastor. Below will be found a short sketch of the life and work of Miss Olds by ex-Rev. C. B. Reynolds, the popular Free Thought lecturer, and a brief account of the dedication of the church above mentioned by Mrs. E. L. Walker, Secretary of the church. ...

"SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF NETTIE A. OLDS.

"NETTIE A. OLDS was born September 13, 1872, on a farm two miles from McMinnville, Yamhill County, Oregon. She is the youngest daughter of Aaron K. Olds (now in his eighty-fifth year) and his good wife, Martha J. Olds, nee Ford. Unitedly this couple have upheld the banner of Secularism, by example, earnest efforts and devotion of time and means, sustaining the cause in McMinnville and vicinity for the last quarter of a century. To the generous, genial nature, the sterling honesty, persistency and courage of her father, and the keen sense of justice, abounding benevolence and natural ability of her mother, the cause of Secularism is indebted for one of its most able and fearless exponents and the most zealous, self-sacrificing and successful Sunday-School worker in the United States.

"Miss Nettie A. Olds is a natural musician, a proficient performer on the piano and violin, a lover of melody, with buoyant spirits and a rich, powerful voice. She dearly loves children, and they, the best of all discerners of who really love them, idolize her in return. With patience and gentleness that appears inexhaustible, she will arouse to effort the dullest scholar, and awaken their interest and ambition to sing little songs and recite pieces. She seems to know intuitively just how to keep interested and secure the attention and win the affection of children of the most opposite dispositions and temperament. As a lecturer she has a queenly presence and is an earnest, most interesting and eloquent speaker. Her hearers may not endorse her opinions, but the most prejudiced are convinced of her gentle,[ ]kindly, honest nature, and the sincerity of her every utterance.

"Miss Olds attended a district school until the age of thirteen, afterwards spent three years in McMinnville Baptist College; evinced more than ordinary ability, delivering at different times orations which, because of the originality of expression and eloquence of utterance, induced her professors and the leading lawyers of the city to urge her to take up the study of law. But opportunities were wanting. During the winter of 1895 she took the business course in the Portland Business College, and the following winter, the course in stenography and typewriting. From infancy to now she has always breathed the air of Free Thought, never having been circumscribed by the dogmas of orthodoxy.

"In the fall of 1892 Miss Olds attended the Annual Convention of the 0. S. S. U., held at Portland, which awakened her enthusiasm in the Secular work, especially in the establishing of Secular Sunday-Schools, and was elected Superintendent of the P. S. S S. The following spring she taught a public school at New Era. Under the urgent solicitation of friends, she delivered her first Free Thought lecture at the First Secular Church of Portland, March 18, 1894, subject, "Free Moral Agency." In July, accompanied by Katie Kebm Smith, she made a tour of Western Oregon and Southwestern Washington in the interests of Secularism; her singing and violin solos attracting crowded houses. She took a prominent part in the next annual convention of the O. S. S. U., held at Forest Grove, and was elected Vice-President of the organization. The following November she resumed charge of her school at New Era.

"At this time, without notification, Mrs. Katie Kehm Smith resigned her position as pastor of the Portland Secular Church, leaving the organization entirely without a lecturer. Miss Olds was most urgently entreated, as the most available person, to fill the vacancy. With great reluctance she consented, realizing that her school was fifteen miles away and that it would be necessary to walk at least five miles to reach a public conveyance to and from Portland. During that winter she successfully carried on her school and increased the interest and membership both in the Portland Church and Sunday-School, visiting McMinnville each month to lecture and sustain interest, in the cause there. In the spring she moved to Portland and was elected permanent pastor. In addition to her pastoral duties she made frequent journeys and gave lectures in other cities.

"She organized the Woman's Auxiliary of the F. S. C, which proved a grand aid to the cause. The Portland Sunday-Schooi increased from 15 to 120 members. She was elected chairman of the Sunday-Schooi Lesson Leaf Committee and did all the work of writing and publishing the leaflets. The success of the convention, September, 1895, was due almost entirely to her untiring efforts and ability. But the strain upon her nervous system proved too great, and in November, 1895, she was forced to rest from her work and resigned her pastorship, retiring to the quiet farm home, but only to find the needs of the cause at McMinnville imperatively demanded all her energies to revive it. After two weeks of rest, with her usual enthusiasm and zeal, she aroused the Liberals to effort, reorganized the Sunday-School, inspired hope and confidence which has ultimated in the erection and completion of the First Secular Church and Science Hall of McMinnville, a brief account of the dedication of which appears below.

"This spring Miss Olds enters upon a course of law and natural philosophy, to further prepare herself for a wider field of usefulness."³

"Arch. H. Olds, newly appointed general manager of the company, in his talk gave a brief history of the company in the past, but dealt largely with the possibilities of the future. Mr. Olds in his executive capacity stands as one of the youngest managers of a large piano business in the retail field. ..."⁵
     "Crawfordsville, Ind., July 6. -- Curt S. Miller has recently accepted the position of general manager of M. L. Claypool Music Co., made vacant by the resignantion of Arch H.

     Archie Olds lived in Crawfordsville, Indiana, about 1953 and I visited him there while I was in college. I was seeking information on the Olds family for a freshman term paper. Mr. Olds told me that he was adopted into the family and knew little about its history. Since he had no information to help with my quest at the time, I probably made no record of this interview.

     Although he is called Archibald by E. B. Olds, he is identified as Archer in an answer to a query in NEXUS. I have had NO SUCCESS PROVING A CONNECTION from Levi to either an Archer or Archibald, but Archer makes more sense if the connection to Sabra (Archer) Olds is valid.

Foster on 26 Apr 1948 at Cook County, Illinois.³ Ardeth Mae Olds died on 13 Sep 1983 at St. Luke's Hosp., Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, at age 68.⁴
     She had no children.
     
     "As we all know, Ardeth was a demon for work. She steadfastly refused to retire, even thoough it was quite possible, and at the time of her death was working five days a week at two jobs. She suffered a massive heart attack in one of her offices on September 2. By the time Chicago Fire Dept. paramedics arrived, her heart had stopped, resulting in irreparable brain damage. However, she was successfully resusitated and taken to Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke's hospital. Even though it was determined that she was 99% brain dead, she underwent "heroic measure" treatment, including respirator and IV's, until her body finally said 'NO'.
"Enough of this. She was a spirited person -- blessed with talent (she started giving piano lessons at age 16), a quick mind, and sometimes an even quicker wit which could bow or please the recipient. (Being the younger sister, I know.) A voracious reader (by age 17 she had read the entire contents of the Wyanet Public Library from A to Z); she was also an artisan of many crafts; knitting, needlepoint, cooking. She was a gourmet cook -- nobody ever refused an invitation to her table -- and a gourmand eater of her beloved '3 P's': peanuts, popcorn and pickles." ... At her request, there was no service and she was cremated."
Beth was angry about the situation in which Ardeth died. Ardeth had often expressed her opinions on dying and her wish that no heroic measures should be used. Even though she had said there was a "Living Will", none could be found and Ardeth was subjected to unnecessary procedues and her family and close friends to cruel emotional stress. Beth used the situation to urge the rest of us to think about the conditions of our own dying, to gather information and to act upon it.⁴
