BIOGRAPHICAL
Mrs. Olive Thomas wife of John Thomas, deceased, died at her home in Harrison 
Township, Licking County, Ohio October 22, 1886, aged 82 years, 6 months and 21 
days. She was the daughter of Samuel Bassett, and was born in Rutland County, 
Vermont. At the age of 8 years she, with her parents, came to Licking County, 
where she remained until death called her home. At an early age the deceased 
made a public profession of the Christian religion and her devoted, godly life, 
ever after her profession gave evidence that it was no sham. She leaves two 
children, Mrs. Lucy Daniels of Licking County Ohio and Mr. Stephen Thomas of 
Iowa, who keenly feel the loss of a kin an affectionate mother, but the “sorrow 
not, even as others which have no hope.” The unusually large collection of 
friends and neighbors, that were present of the day of the funeral, gave 
evidence of the high esteem placed upon the life and character of “ Old Aunt 
Olive” as she was familiarly called. Her body was consigned to the earth in the 
cemetery at Granville.
