Dyer J. Olin
I am looking for information on this man for a cemetery book I'm compiling. Dyer J Olin is buried in the Grand Center Cemetery, Valley Twp, Osborne Co., Ks. His wife Nellie M is buried there also. I am trying to build a small biography for him as he is one of the 10 Civil War Veterans buried is this small rural cemetery. According to the 1900 Kansas Federal Census, Russell County, Fairview, he was born Jan 1834 in New York, with both parents born in Vermont. He was a carpenter. He was 66 years of age and married 23 years to Nellie M, born May 1844, age 56, born Pennsylvania and parents born in Pennsylvania. I don't think they had children.
The Civil War Pension Index lists Olin, Dyer J. Company I, 18th Missouri Infantry or 18th Wisconsin Infantry. Its difficult to read.
If anyone can help me with this man, I would be very very grateful. Sincerely, Mona Kennedy
