Grindstone City Advertiser, dated 25 Nov 1875
For more than forty years Mrs. Olive Wilkinson lived in Royalton, near Bennetts Corners, up to the morning of the 11th of Nov., 1875, when she peacefully closed a long life of 83 years and 38 days; hence, when "the sun of life had set" with her, the natural sun had performed 30,336 revolutions. Of old men in their dotage it is said, "once a man and twice a child;" but of "Aunt Olive" (as she was familiarly called) it must be said she was only once a child, having had a vigorous body and a healthy mind. She was esteemed and honored in life, and lamented in death; and two lads of the fourth generation stood in the presence of the respected dead, to weep with others
