Volunteers do need that for research. Many persons of this age do not have posted obituaries for many reasons, their desire, financial considerations, number of family/friends that knew the person, the family members decision, the persons health (long term dementia, etc). The Social Security Death Index: Dolores C. Olson, born 10 Oct 1929, died 24 Aug 2004, "last residence:" Seattle, King Co, WA. --The "last residence" on the SSDI is NOT necessarily where a person actually lived or died. The Social Security Administration calls it simply the "home of record." It is not necessarily where any benefit was paid to the person, survivor, or the lumpsum death benefit (in 1972 was paid to anyone paying burial expenses, family member, funeral home, city/county, attorney). It is sometimes the location where the notification of death was sent to the SSA, sometimes where the lump sum death benefit was sent. A posted family tree identifies she was born about 1929 in Pennsylvania, dau of Ole Bernhard Olsen, 1892-1969; and Cecilia Ryan, 1893-1942. Ole died March 6, 1969 in Friedens, Somerset, PA. His father, Olaus Engelsvoll (farm name?) Olsen born 1866 in Norway, immigrated 1883 (my kind of people)... The Tree: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/4868145/person/6928308351?ssrc= can be accessed via membership, or your local library if they have the Library Version. It shows some pictures, but not of Dolores. The tree shows no spouse or children. Her marriage in 1949 to Billie L Olson: http://media.digitalarchives.wa.gov/WA.Media/jpeg/4FBDA5723473D468BBF652BC87C43664_1.jpg The King County Superior Court has a case file #04-4-04153-5 concerning Dolores C. Olson, Deceased, filed 09/07/2004. Filed was her last will and testament. This was probably a preceding for a Probate case, but was closed with no further action due to a will being produced. The Pierce County Recorder: http://www.kingcounty.gov/business/Recorders/RecordsSearch.aspx does have a copy of her death certificate, but it is not scanned online. There is a scanned document that transfers the residential estate of Delores by her heirs, William Gary Olson, John Robert Olson, and Joann Olson-Hill. http://146.129.54.93:8193/imgcache/OPR20041015002651-1-2.pdf If this link does not work, you can find it via: http://www.kingcounty.gov/business/Recorders/RecordsSearch.aspx I reviewed the property data. Dolores purchased the property on 3/13/1985, a new construction. Marital records were found for William Gary Olson with John R. Olson as a witness. A marriage record for John Robert Olson was found with William Gary as witness. Using that information a current address for son John Robert Olson and family was found.

Mr. Fagan's unexpected death was the cause of grief throughout school circles in Seattle, for he had served with the Seattle schools since 1890 and numbered among his pupils hundreds of Seattle's prominent citizens. He had carried out his duties up until his death, going to the school Friday and staying all day. His widow, Mrs. Janet C. Fagan, said his health had been failing for several months. He was taken suddenly ill yesterday. Was Outstanding Educator Both Thomas R. Cole, former Superintendent of Schools here and Frank E. Willard, an Assistant Superintendent, said Mr. Fagan was an outstanding educator in the city and was beloved by both his pupils and associates.

Under President Grover Cleveland he was Superintendent of Indian Affairs of the Osage Indians at Pawhuska, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma. He came to Seattle in 1889, the year of the fire, when it was still burning. For a short time he practiced law and sold real estate here, then entered the school system, as first principal of the Mercer School, where he stayed about eighteen months. At Old Central School Later he was transferred to the old Central School and was principal there until the old building was torn down, when he went to the Cascade School. Several times Mr. Fagan was honored for his long service with the schools, only a few months ago a tree on Recognition Lane at Sand Point being dedicated to him. He is survived by his widow, a son, Charles C. Fagan of Bellevue and two grandsons, Prescott and Charles C. Fagan Jr. The remains are at the Home Undertaking Company's parlors pending arrangements for the funeral. ***** The Seattle Times Monday, October 5, 1959 Mrs. Charles Fagan Mrs. Janet C.
