Here is an obituary on my great-great grandmother:

Copied from The Graphic Sentinel - Lake City, MN, 
Tuesday, November 30, 1897

Mrs. O.L. Oliver of Guilford died at her home on Sunday evening at 9 
o'clock at the age of 74 years, 7 months and 21 days.  The deceased 
was born at Albany, NY and in an early day settled on the homestead 
farm in Gillford, where they have resided ever since.  She was the 
mother of ten children -- eight of whom still survive her, and are: 
James of Reed's Landing, William of Oronoco, Han and George Oliver of 
Gillford, Mrs. Margaret Warren of Hyde Park, Mrs. Elizabeth Welch of 
Zumbro Falls, Mrs. Emma Lamb of Rochester and Mrs. Minneota Atkinson 
of Henning, Mn; all but two of whom were at the funeral.  The funeral 
services will be held at the late residence tomorrow, Wednesday, at 
11 o'clock, Reverend Mr. Ingham of Mazeppa officiating, and the remains 
laid at rest in the Lincoln Cemetery.  The deceased was a tender, 
loving mother, a kind neighbor and the friends of the family mourn 
her death.
