Olga Marie "Maya" Podulke born on the 19th of August, 1896 in Lesjaskog,Oppland,Norway to father Niklas Endresen Lotten and mother Oline Olsdatter Brunsten. When Maya was thirteen, her mother died; and four years later she emigrated to the U.S. She settled in Mazeppa, Minnesota. ; and later made two trips back to Norway. She was twice married. she met her first husband; a professional blacksmith. Stanislaw Joseph Podulke (1888-1926) ; and together they have five children: Sophia, Bernadine Helena, Bernard Michael, Michael Francis, and Ambrose Walter, in Mazeppa as the first Podulke family in the world.

Stanislaw died January 20, 1926; from improper ventilation in his blacksmith shop. leaving her with their three young children (that survived to adulthood). She struggled to take care of her family during the crisis in 1929. The 1930 Census lists Olga Marie as age 33 and children Bernadine (age 9) Michael (age 7) and Ambrose (age 6) at the household in Mazeppa, Minnesota that was lost due to the actions of the banker who stole her monthly payments and had fled to Canada; taking all the savings from the village people, and the catholic church didnt pay back a loan that Stanislaw had loaned them.

It appears that her second husband had the name Henry Burton.

Olga died on the 18th of March, 1971.
