The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday December 30, 1898 C.W. Olney. On Christmas morning at 3 o'clock the spirit of one of our time-honored citizens, C.W. OLNEY, took its flight to that great unknown world. He had been ailing for some time but it was hardly thought that he was dangerously ill. The deceased was born in Lockport, New York in 1818, hence he was over eighty years of age. He had tiwce been married. To this first union three sons were born, Frank A., of Denver, Harry(Barry?) C., of Boston and Chas E. of South Dakota, all of whom are living. In 1877 he married his present wife who still survives him. The funeral services were held at the residence on Wednesday morning conducted by Rev. E.J. NUGENT, after which the remains were followed to our beautiful Oak Lawn cemetery where they were laid to rest. The I.O.O.F. and Rebekah lodges joined the many friends paying the last respects. C.W. OLNEY was a pioneer settler here and the many friends he made in the early days have one by one preceded him until very few are left. He was a good man--one whom everybody respected, and our community will greatly feel his loss.
