Notes for Osborn Raymond Olmsted (7807):

O. R. Olmstead, a retired boot and shoe dealer of Cherokee, Iowa, was born in Bethany, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, December 4, 1830, and is the son of Raymond and Joanna (Jack) Olmstead. The father was a shoemaker by trade. Our subject's ancestors on his father's side were of English descent. He was reared in the town of his nativity;, receiving a common school education. At the age of thirteen years he commenced to learn the shoemaker's trade of his grandfather, remaining with him until he was twenty-one years of age. In 1854 he went to Grnt County, Wisconsin, where he worked at farming until 1863. He then removed to the beatiful town of Boscoebel, Wisconsin, where he again resumed his trade, at which he continued until 1876, when he removed to Cherokee, Iowa, and purchased the boot and shoe stock owned by Davis Bates, after he had worked at the bench six months. He continued in the boot and shoe trade until 1887, when he sold his stock to Mr. Bates, of whom he had originally purchased it. Mr. Olmstead was married in 1853, to Susan B. Simpson, a native of Wayne County, Pennsylvania and daughter of John Simpson, Esq. Three children have been born to these estimable parents:
