Olive Elizabeth WEIPERT was born on 25 Jun 1889 in Washington. She died on 22 Feb 1960 in Los Angeles, California. She was buried in Glendale, Los Angeles Co., California, Forest Lawn Mem Park.
BIOGRAPHY: The 1900 Census shows Olive living in Monroe Twp, Andrew Co., Missouri with "her uncle Henry Bohr". He was the husband of her aunt Martha (Castle) Bahr (which is shown as Behr in the 1880 census). Her living there may be due to the fact that her mother Mary died a few years earlier and her father George (who was blind) may have felt that he was not able to take care of her. In the same census, her sister Emma is a "lodger" in Lincoln Co., Washington, and her brothers Frank and Charles (along with George) are living with brother Sebastian. When she was a little older, she and her two cousins Bessie May and Hazel Weipert went to San Francisco to live and work. Later, she and Bessie moved to Los Angeles.
Olive worked for Westinghouse for many years there. It has been said that with her attractive looks and outgoing personality, she could have been in the movies. She went by the nickname Ollie. She never married. She had a long time friend "Jack" who was never able to obtain a divorce from his wife and marry Ollie.
BIRTH: Census: Missouri, Andrew Co., Monroe Twp., V2ED8S4L58, 1900 (living with Henry Bohr, her uncle).
DEATH: She is mentioned in the obituary for her brother Charles. She was living in 1950 at the time of brother Frank's funeral. The California death index cites death date 22 Feb 1960 at Los Angeles, birth date 25 Jun 1889 in Washington, mother Castle.
DEATH: "California Death Index, 1940-1997," database at FamilySearch.
