About Olive "Ollie" Shay

Findagrave:

Husband's Will states her name as Emma Olive Hill. Per headstone, census data,death record and family records she went by Ollie or Olive (Allie in family records by the Reddig Family). Her full name according to Will was; Emma Olive Hill. All family relationship are correct. Her name Emma Olive Hill is also stated per Newspaper Clipping below.

We should assume this is her true first name. I have another Grandmother who went by her middle name and even the family argued over her true first name until both death and birth certificates were obtained.
