Olive was the sweet lady who invited us to her home for lunch while we were in Clinton County, New York. It was so nice. She had some family history and a diary kept by Elisabeth Johnson that she let us take to a local printer so we could make copies. Mom and I both had copies made. I think we paid close to $70 each, worth every penny. She was related through the Johnson/Lewis line.
