You can read the most recent write-up for "Olive Laura Cushing Erskine" here on the blog. For that presentation, I took parts and pieces from several different documents. Lucille had typed up histories for herself, her husband Joe, for both her parents, for her grandmother, and did "I Remember" spotlights on her parents.
Below, you will find a copy of the original "Life of Olive Laura Cushing" just as Grandma Lucille wrote it up. You'll find many of the same/similar passages in the most recent write-up, but also other things that I left out in my version of Olive's history. It's always interesting to see what people choose to include. Grandma Lucille added in a lot of facts about family members (Olive's mother, brothers, children, the doctor/nurse) that didn't seem to be "Olive's History" but definitely information that I might spotlight elsewhere.
The original scan of Olive's history WAS on FamilySearch, but it was a bit hidden, in a 20-page PDF that started with Claude's history, and was only included in Claude's memories. Now, the original "Life of Olive Laura Cushing" as written by her daughter Lucille has been uploaded as a PDF to Family Search, and it is also in the Westra Dropbox (A Photos and Histories by Family -- Lamar's Relatives) ... and now it's also included here on the blog.
