    Notes:

    CENSUS RECORDS

    For some reason, Ollie was left off the 1920 census. It may have been because her name was similar to her brother Raleigh. She married young, age 17 in the 1930 census. Her place in the family is confirmed in the Bluefield Daily Telegraph newspaper article about her sister Bookie's funeral. She is mentioned as "Mrs. Olive Prater of McClure, VA" McClure is in Dickenson Co., which is where she was in the 1940 census.
