Olga V. Olson

 

Olga V. Olson, daughter of Olaf Olson and Sophia Johnson Olson, never married but was a career woman.  She worked for the Miller Davis Company in Minneapolis who was a large printer of legal forms.  She was very active in the movement to win the right to vote for women.  Unfortunately she did the very summer (1920) before women were given the right to vote in 1921.  My mother-in-law recounts this story and tells me this is why she works today as an election official.  Her mother, Clara Victoria Olson Chellberg, was a sister of Olga's.
