Description	:	There's an interesting story about Olive that has been told to us through the generations. What exactly happened and much of the story has been lost. When Olive was a little girl she was very ill and her family thought she had died, they prepared to bury her but her Eldest sister Sarah Jane kept telling everyone that she was not dead, and she refused to let them bury Olive, it was one or two days later that Olive woke up. Sarah Jane must have been very convincing and truly believed she was not dead. Contributed by Kami Andreasen May 21, 2012...
