William age 24, and his two, slightly younger, brothers are listed with them.

C., boarder male, Oct 1872, 27, Wd, PA, Scotland, Ireland, Day laborer, 0 ------ According to his death certificate in 1947 he had been in California 49 years placing his arrival here in 1898. He is listed in the 1900 Census with his mother and step-father in Cleveland, Ohio. We don�t know, perhaps he was there on an extended leave. --- William was in the Army and moved to California. He married his first wife, Lizzie, about 1901 and was sent to Texas for a short time where Ruth was born. According to family history, they then returned California where Pearl was born. Three years later his wife died (of heart failure according to the death certificate) he gave the children to their grandparents and as near as I can tell, saw them no further. --- William R. Ollom applied for his pension Feb 3, 1923. He served in the following units of the military: F 3 US Art � B 18 US Inf � D 12 US Cav � 3 Rut Co, Gen Serv US Inf His daughter Ruth (my Grandmother) thought he served in the cavalry. I located a card file for Oak Hill cemetery at the Santa Clara library and he is listed as a Sargeant in the 12th Cavalry. --- He started a second family with Bertha Ackerson. I don�t know when they were married. Roberta H., born in 1913, is the first child I can locate for that marriage. --- The census of 1920 for Santa Clara Co., CA lists his occupation as a Free �something� and worked for someone else for wages. Can�t read the �something�. --- I don�t have any particular thoughts regarding the missed moments in time. Will Ollom lived less that 50 miles from his daughters, from his first marriage, until he died in 28 Oct 1947. He died in Oak Knoll Naval Hospital, the same hospital that his great grandaughter, Penny, was born in 3 years earlier. His daughter, Ruth, was living on a ranch over looking Niles and Fremont in 1947. --- ------ Directory Listings for the City of San Jose ------- SAN JOSE CITY DIRECTORY (POLK HUSTED'S ) 1922: Ollom Wm R watchman h 31 Villa 1925: Ollom Wm R watch Associated Oil Co. h 31 Villa 1927: Ollom Wm R watchman (Bertha) 925 University av 1928: Ollom Wm R (Bertha J) AO Co 720 Morse 1929: Ollom Wm R (Bertha J) AO Co 754 Elm 1932: Ollom Wm R (Bertha J) AO Co 460 N 3rd 1936: Ollom Martha C marker Deluxe Imperial Dying & Clng Wks 395 N. 14th Ollom Roberta F tel opr 395 N. 14th Ollom W Rodney clk 395 N. 14th Ollom Wm R (Bertha) plantmn AO Co 395 N. 14th 1937: Ollom Martha C 395 N. 14th Ollom Roberta F 395 N. 14th Ollom Wm R (Bertha) plantmn AO Co 395 N. 14th (Last year Wm is listed as working) 1938: Ollom Agnes N r 395 N. 14th Ollom Martha C 395 N. 14th Ollom Roberta F 395 N. 14th Ollom W Rodney (USA) 395 N. 14th - Military service Ollom Wm R (Bertha) 395 N. 14th 1940: Ollom Martha C r. 134 E Julian Ollom W Rodney (chauf) r. 134 E Julian Ollom Wm R (Bertha) h. 134 E Julian 1941: Ollom Agnes r. 122 N 8th Ollom Wm R (Bertha) h. 122 N 8th Ollom Wm jr r. 122 N 8th 1942: Ollom Agnes r. 169 S 12th Ollom Eliz A (sten) r. 169 S 12th Ollom Wm R (Bertha) h. 169 S 12th Ollom Wm jr (Ardis) Lineoleum Layer for Crains Lineoleum & Shade Shop r. 169 S 12th 1943: Ollom Wm R (Bertha) h. 169 S 12th Ollom Wm R (Ardis) clk h. 99 E Julian 1944: Ollom Elizabeth A bkpr r. 169 S 12th Ollom William (Bertha) h r. 169 S 12th 1945: Ollom Elizabeth (clk) r 93 W Reed Ollom William (Bertha) h 93 W Reed 1947: Ollom William (Bertha) h 93 W Reed 1952: Ollom Bertha J (wid WR) h 158 Balbach Ollom Wm R (Ardis F) Royal Flooring h 2406 Shibley Ave ------------------------ San Francisco Directory: William�s 2nd Cousin. both born in Meigs County.
