Classification: Query
Surnames: Olsen, Skavern, Smith, Dixon, Crawford
Long but please read to end for my assumption...
Back in 2004 I was given the following information from a post on the Pacfic County mailling list:
"I have in the book listing the burials in the Odd Fellows Cemetery (also called South Bend 100F Lodge #33 Cemetery) in South Bend, WA, a Serena Olsen. I will give you exactly what the book says. "half of Lot 49 Mrs. Serena Olsen 6/12/1916 "buried Mrs. Olsen 6/30/1916"(elsewhere listed as Lot 41"
in the other half of lot 41 is buried Helen Crawford 3/11/1922
in the other half of Lot 49 is buried Mrs. Sylvester H. Dewitt 2/7/1916
Since then I have received these obits:
Willapa Harbor Pilot June 23, 1916
JOHN Olsen, aged 65, who had been ill a long time of chronic heart disease and nephritis, passed away at the family home in Eklund Park last Monday (19 June 1916) morning about 3 o'clock. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the R. S. Henderson chapel, Revs. Larsen and Gilman Park officiating. He is survived by his widow and a daughter, Mrs. Crawford of Oregon, formerly Mrs. Helen Dixon, who was librarian here in 1910-1911. The interment was in Odd Fellows Cemetery.
Raymond (Washington) Herald, Friday, March 3, 1922
MRS. SOL SMITH (SERINE SKAVERN Olsen), a resident of Eklund Park for the past 18 years, died at the Riverview hospital last Sunday (Feb 26, 1922) following an illness of heart trouble since last summer. She was taken seriously ill last September and for a time appeared to be on the road to recovery when she suffered a setback, being quite ill ever since.
Deceased was born in Norway on October 10, 1848, being 74 years of age. She was the widow of John Olson, a long time resident of Pacific County. On November 4, 1920, she was married to Judge Sol SMITH of South Bend. In addition to her widower, she is survived by a daughter Mrs. Helen Crawford of Los Angeles, who had been with her since December in her illness.
The funeral was held from the South Bend Baptist church Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Joseph Weiss, pastor of that church and Rev. Percy Davies, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating. Interment was at the 1.O.O.F. cemetery. Albro Dickinson of this city had charge of the funeral.
I am assuming that John Olsen (DOD: 6/16/1916) is buried in"half of Lot 41/49 "buried Mrs. Olsen 6/30/1916"(elsewhere listed as Lot 41") as Serine was still alive.
I also assume that Serine Skavern Olsen SMITH is buried "in the other half of lot 41 (or 49) is buried Helen Crawford 3/11/1922" and that Helen (Dixon) Crawford (her dtr.) is listed because the cemetery/funeral home dealt with her at Serine's death.
If anyone has any info on any of the individuals listed in these obits I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks,
Marge
