She had been visiting her sister, Mrs. Ollie Pennington at Post City. After an attack of the measles, while there she went to her brother, Walter Pickett. The journey caused a relapse, and she died about a week later. Ola has been reared in the Truce community, where she made many friends. She was a lady of most excellent character, a sweet, unselfish disposition, and a devoted Christian. She was converted when about twelve years of age and her religion for that time until her death was never questioned. She was ever ready to do her part in any place where her services were needed, especially in the church and Sunday School. Of a family of several children, she was the only one left in the home, and she will be sadly missed by her parents [A.J. and J.E. Pickett] as well as by all of her friends.
