Suggested edit:
She was deaf and mute. Family writings imply that Oline's handicap and early death at 4 yrs were due to the trauma her mother suffered as she tried to keep herself and her three little girls alive in the Peshtigo River during the fire {October 8, 1871 Peshtigo fire.}

Oline was born 21 days after that terrible night, and according to family lore, was premature. She was baptized 2 months later in Green Bay. Possibly the family was staying in the Green Bay, WI, area at the time until they had another place to live in Peshtigo.
