 - At about age 20 Ollie went to Illinois where his brother George was working for a logging company (could not recall name, said it was "next to a big river where they floated logs")

 Ollie and family left Oklahoma for Napa, CA in November 1942. Ollie had been diagnosed with heart disease by a doctor in Oklahoma and told that he would never be able to work again. Roy Shields who was already living in Napa, told Ollie that he was going to move the family out to Napa where Roy could take care of them. Once in Napa, Ollie was diagnosed as having pyorrhea of the gums, not heart disease. He resumed working, taking a job at Syar.
 After Pearl's death in 1959, Ollie began dating daughter Reba Shields Lollis's mother in law knowing that they were related by marriage.
