Obit for Julia Belle AUSTIN OLLIS from the 30 April 1947 issue of the Corydon Democrat newspaper.
"Mrs. Julia B. Ollis Dies Suddenly"
"Funeral Services Held Tuesday At Palmyra"
Mrs. Julia B. Ollis, wife of Edward Ollis passed away quite suddenly and unexpectedly Sunday afternoon at 2:45 o'clock at her home in Palmyra following a three day illness."
"Mrs. Ollis was seventy-nine years of age.She was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Marion Austin and was born and reared in the County.She was a member of the E.U.B. Church."
Funeral services wre held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock at the Palmyra E.U.B. Church conducted by the pastor Rev. A. E. Howard.Burail was at the Palmyra Cemetery.
Music was furnished by Mrs. Ward Herthel and Mrs. S. B. Melton.
Surviving are her husband Edward Ollis, three daughters, Mrs. Hattie McBrair of Akron, Ohio, Mrs. Condon Boaz, and Miss Audra Ollis of Palmyra.She also leaves eight grandchildren."
I have doubted that she was born in "the County" as the obit reads since family lore seems pretty sure that she was born in Independence, MO, & moved to Harrison Co., IN, when Julia was about 8 years old. According to obit, she would have been born about 1868.According to family lore, she moved with her family at age 8 by covered wagon (would be about 1876.)I have photographed the tombstone, which is shared by Julia B., Edward & their daughter Audra.I have information on the descedants of Julia & Edward OLLIS.WIll be glad to share information.Do you have more to share with me?please reply to [email protected]
