Mrs. Henry Olmstead, living near Pauline died Wednesday morning of dropsy.
HT 11 July 1902 pg 5 "Ayr"
Died, July 9, 1902, after a lingering illness of several months duration, Mrs. Sarah W. Olmstead, wife of H.W. Olmstead, at her home near Pauline, Neb. Mrs. Olmstead whose maiden name was Oatman, was born Dec. 26, 1830, in the town of Senate, Cayuga county, N.Y. and had she lived until her next birthday would have been seventy-two year old.
In 1855, she moved with her parents to Whiteside county, Illinois, then a comparatively new country. She was married to Mr. Olmstead in 1856 and resided in Illinois near Prophetstown until 1874, when the family moved to Adams county, Neb. and settled on a homestead in Little Blue township, near what is now the village of Pauline, where she has since resided.
Coming here in an early day, she saw many of the ups and downs of Nebraska life and often extended the hand of charity and words of sympathy to those less fortunate than herself. Her chief object in life seemed to be to aid and comfort those around her, and her good deeds did not stop at home, but extended wherever she could reach out a helping hand, giving aid and comfort to those in need.
Early in life she united with the Baptist church and has always lived a consistent and practical christian life, practicing daily the teaching of the Divine Master. Her life was a living monument of charity and love to those dependent upon and living around her. The funeral services were held at the house, conducted by Rev. J Abbott, pastor of the Methodist church of Hastings.
The casket was covered with many beautiful floral designs, the offerings of loving and sympathetic friends, a last tribute to one esteemed by all.
The remains were laid at rest in the Riverside cemetery at Leroy, by the side of her father and mother, whose last days she had the pleasure of rendering peaceful and happy. She has been taken from us but the remembrance of her will remain with us forever.
Of her family she leaves a husband, an only son, one sister and three brothers. The son, E.S. Olmstead, and his father occupy the old home. One brother, John Oatman of Pauline, D.E. Oatman of Leroy, H.C. Oatman of Prophetstown, Ill., and Mrs. W.E. Cox of Hastings, are left of her near relatives.
