     Her obituary states:
"ELIZABETH OLDS was born in Ohio on the 15th day of January, 1826. Had she lived until next Sunday, she would have reached the age of 85 years. When very young she removed with her parents to Wisconsin where they settled on a farm. Though for three months they were compelled to live in a fort on account of the hostile Indians. Moving again, the family settled on a farm one mile south of Warren, Illinois. Here Miss OLDS resided until her marriage in 1846, to WINDSOR RICHARDS, at which time the two went to Wisconsin but after five years returned to Warren where they lived until 1869, when they came to Decatur County, Iowa, and took up their residence on the Lee farm about three miles from Davis City. Here they resided until eight years ago when they became residents of Lamoni.
"There were born to Mr. And Mrs. RICHARDS six children, all of whom are living. They are: Miss JANE RICHARDS, Mrs. CHARLES LYLE, Mrs. EDA HABERKORN and Mrs. BELL ERVING, all of Lamoni, HENRY RICHARDS, of Clear Lake, Iowa, and Mrs. LIZZIE SPARGUR of Mt. Ayr. There is still living one sister of the family of twelve children to which Mrs. RICHARDS belonged, Mrs. HENRIETTA WILSON, of Warren, Illinois. Mr. RICHARDS passed away January 22, five years ago. For about sixty years this couple had lived happily together.
"For about three years, Grandma RICHARDS, as she was generally known, had been very feeble and suffered much from rheumatism and heart trouble. About a month ago a worse attack than usual seized her since which time she has been even more helpless and despondent than before, the last three weeks being spent in almost complete unconsciousness. During those months of suffering she had been cared for by her daughters at the home in Lamoni. Death for which she had long hoped, finally came to her on Wednesday evening January 4, 1911, and without struggle the body so long racked by pain and suffering received rest and the spirit was released.
"Funeral services were conducted at the residence by Rev. R.M. Shipman on Thursday afternoon at half past two, and were attended by many neighbors and friends. Burial was in Rose Hill Cemetery at Lamoni."⁵

"Funeral services, conducted by Rev. C. M. Herrick, of the Presbyterian church, will be held at the home at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow. Burial will be in Grace Lawn cemetery.

Mr. Miller died May 7, 1886, since which timeMrs. Miller had made her home with Mr. Olds, who with her other nephews and nieces, are her nearest relatives. Francis Miller of this city is a brother-in-law."¹
     Another obituary for Elizabeth states:
     "Elizabeth Olds Miller, 71 years old, a resident of Elkhart for the greater part of her life, died at 3 o'clock Sunday morning at the home of her nephew, Charles T. Olds, 1312 Jackson street, where she had lived for twenty-eight years.
"Death was due to paralysis with which the deceased had suffered for a number of years, and which was complicated by the ailments of age. She had been bedfast for the greatest part of the last eight months. She was a patient sufferer and was known to many friends as a gracious and kind woman.
"The deceased was born in Adamsville, Cass county, Mich., on August 8, 1843, the daughter of Harvey Olds. Her father died when she was a child; and from 1851 she lived with Franklin Kenyon and his family on a farm which was located where the J. D. Wood home now stands on East Jackson street. In 1871, she was married to William B. Miller, a farmer. They lived on a farm near Adamsville and later on a farm where the C. E. Olds home is now located, on East Jackson street.
"Since the death of her husband, on May 7, 1886, Mrs. Miller has made her home with her nephew, at whose home she died.
"The deceased is survived by her nephew, a cousin Phineas Clarke, and a brother-in-law, Francis Miller, both of this city. The funeral will be held at the Olds home at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, in charge of Rev. C. M. Herrick of the First Presbyterian church. Interment will be in Grace Lawn cemetery."⁴

     Elizabeth Olds was the daughter of Edward Franklin Olds and Lucia Helen Whitney.¹ Elizabeth Olds married Samuel Walter Osgood in 1863.¹ Elizabeth Olds died in 1886.¹

     Elizabeth (Eliza) Olds was the daughter of Jesse Olds and Mercy Taft.¹ Elizabeth (Eliza) Olds married William Jackson; he was "of Claysville, Ky." They had 12 children.^2,3
     ToDo: Was it Jonathan Jackson or William Jackson that married Eliza, daughter of Jesse Olds, in Kentucky. E. B. Olds may have this wrong.

     Although the following quotation places the birth of Jesse Olds in Virginia, I have found no reason to believe that.
"Mrs. Mitchell comes of one of the old and well-known pioneer families of this county. Her father, Frederick A. Jackson, was born in Claysville, Harrison County, Ky., October 1, 1818, and was a son of William Jackson, a native of the same county. The father of the latter, great-grandfather of Mrs. Mitchell, was Jonathan Jackson. He was a native of Virginia, where he was reared and married, Eliza Olds becoming his wife. She was also a Virginian, and was a daughter of Jesse Olds, a native of the same State. Mr. Olds removed from Virginia to the Northwest Territory in the early days of the settlement of that part of the country, and stopped for a time on the present site of Vincennes, which was then a trading post. From there he went to Harrison County, Ky., and taught in different seminaries and academies in that State, having previously taught at Vermont and Vincennes. He was a graduate of Yale College, and a fine scholar. He also seems to have been a thorough business man, for, coming to Macoupin County in 1834, he settled in Honey Point Township, buying with his son Augustus quite a tract of land; he became wealthy, and at one time owned upward of thirty thousand acres in this county. He taught a few terms in Honey Point Township when he first located there, and he resided there the remainder of his life. The maiden name of his wife, great-greal-grandmother of Mrs. Mitchell, was Mercy Taft. She was born in Massachusetts and died in Madison County, this State.
"After his marriage, Jonathan Jackson went to Kentucky and was a pioneer of Harrison County, where he bought land and improved a farm, his death taking place there. His son William Jackson, was a blacksmith, and carried on his trade in connection with farming, his entire life being passed in Harrison County, where he died in 1849. His wife survived him many years, her death finally occurring at Claysville, Ky., in July, 1887."⁴
