Surnames: Daniels, Harding, Blake, Stitt Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4EB.2ACE/889 Message Board Post: I found the following while doing research for a fellow genealogist. Research shows that Olive married 1st Lewis Blake in Massachusetts. Milwaukee city directories show that Lewis Blake first appears as the owner of a Lace and Milinary shop in 1854. 1850 census have Lewis and Olive still residing in Massachusetts. Olive remained in Milwaukee and operated this business after Lewis' death. * Note: The birth date of Olive on this record seems to be incorrect.
