My name is Frederick Lee Olvey.Charles is my son and Runnels grandson.I'm named after John Federick Olvey.I never knew him as he was killed in a car accident when my Dad (Runnels) was a teenager.Your Aunt Hazel was my Grandmother.Runnels passed away 2 years ago but Mom, Mary Louise Lehr is still going strong at 84.I plan to contact Edwina Williams to find out more of the history.I have a cousin in Noblesville, Indiana that compiled a history of the family related to the Indiana lineage.I know her as Dottie Zeise (don't know her married name). My brother is Michael Leroy Olvey he lives in Noblesville and would know Dottie's email if interested.We have many cousins and are planning a "Cousins Reunion" in July in Noblesville.The Olvey name isn't common and it's interesting to get pieces of the puzzle put together.
Dad moved us to Houston in 1950 where we've lived all our lives.While growing up Mike & I worked on Uncle Bill Vernon's farm in Clarksville.
Keep in touch and let me know if you want to come to Indiana in July.
