She was born Sept. 16, 1909, at the family's Bayside Farm at Smith Cove on Cape Rosier, Brooksville, the daughter of Edwin James Smith, 1865-1937, and Bessie (Bakeman) Smith, 1874-1955. She grew up on the farm, the eighth of 11 children; eight girls and three boys. This meant that the girls had to do their share of the rigorous work on a subsistence farm of over 400 acres. They cut, sold and stored their own ice, planted numerous crops for the cold cellar, mowed acres of hay and harvested a dozen cords of wood using hand tools, a sledge and a horse. In her childhood they traveled by horse-drawn vehicles and long trips were rare. The kids really did walk a long way to school every day. She graduated from Brooksville High School a year early and enrolled at Eastern State Normal School, joining her sister, Abby, at the school in Castine, just across the bay from the farm. After graduating from Eastern State in June of 1927 at age 17, Olivia taught school for three years; two on Islesboro. Then she visited her sister, Betty, in New York City for a while, and upon returning home, she and sister Eva, Mrs. Roy P. Allen, traveled to Ellsworth, making a stop at Moore's Drug Store. She met the owner's son, John L. "Bill" Moore, who was smitten. She returned to New York, letters were exchanged and Bill and Olivia were married in New York City at the Little Church Around the Corner on her 22nd birthday in 1931. They lived in Ellsworth where Bill later owned Moore's Drug Store with his brother, James, and sister, Margaret. She enjoyed occasionally working at the drug store during holiday periods. Olivia became a wonderful mother, cook, bridge player and golfer. She earned many bridge Master points, playing well into her 90s and some golf championships as well as scoring several holes-in-one. She enjoyed her winters golfing and bridging in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach and summers in Maine. For several summers she took great pride at being the field boss on the family blueberry fields. Her apple and blueberry pies as well as brownies and yeast rolls were legendary within the family. She is survived by her four children, Mary Olivia and her husband, Douglas N. Smith, of Ellsworth, Jane Isabel Treworgy of Bangor, John L. and his wife, Judy Moore, of Ellsworth, and Elizabeth S. and her husband, Gary McDeavitt, of Union Hall, Va. Olivia has eight grandchildren who know her as Ollie, Douglas N. Smith Jr. and his wife, Teri Sargent Smith, of Ellsworth, Olivia J. Scott and her husband, Steven, of Punta Gorda, Fla., and Harrington, Nathaniel M. Smith and his wife, Diane, of East Blue Hill, Allison M. Moorwood and her husband, Andy, of Trenton and Sunnyvale, Calif., John F. Treworgy of Bangor and Susan Treworgy of California, Jessica E. DaGrosa and her husband, Joseph, of Pinecrest, Fla., and Robert Aleck Moore and his wife, Reem, of Dublin, Ireland.

She is also survived by several nieces and nephews, including the Kermit and Wayne Allen families, Monalee S. Pritchard of Iowa and Patricia G.
