1st child of Olai Olson & Ordina Wang. Born in Lincoln Township. Married 1st: Raymond Vincent Ryan, July 27, 1945, Methodist Church, Jewell, Iowa. Married 2nd: Edwin Willis "Ed" James, whom she loved very dearly, October 3, 1964, Rose Chapel, Reno, Nevada. From this second marriage came 2 stepchildren. She was never able to have her own children, which may have been a prominent factor in the dissolution of her first marriage in 1962. She devoted herself to other causes, and was by all accounts an asset to her extended family, as she seemed to honestly adore most people in general. She was a Nevada resident for more than three decades. A genealogist of the utmost dedication, she was of entirely Norwegian descent. For some reason or other, whenever I think of her, she always brings to mind 1930's to 1990's actress Sylvia Sidney, (1910-1999). I am a big "Beetlejuice" fan.
