Facts and Events
[edit] About Mary Ann OlinMrs. Mary Ann Zent, nee Olin, was born in Manchester, Vermont, Nov. 6, 1836, and when two years old moved to Ohio with her parents in a wagon and located in Richland County, north of where John Knox now lives. The family next moved down on the old home place where her brother Job now resides. Dec. 25, 1856, she was united in marriage to David W. Zent, from which union four children were born, one of which, Laura by name, preceded her mother to the spirit world, dying when only four years old. Soon after getting married Mrs. Zent and her husband went to housekeeping in Bellville to Indiana, and remained there a few years, and then to Chicago for several years, then back to Bellville. Mrs. Zent had been suffering from a complication of diseases for about three years and on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, death came to her relief and her sufferings on this earth were ended. The deceased had a large number of warm personal friends being well liked by all who knew her and the funeral largely attended by friends and relatives notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. Four of her brothers – John M., Gideon, Job S. and Benjamin Olin, acted as pallbearers. The funeral took place Saturday, at 1 p.m., from the residence on Bell Street, with the Rev. H.L. Canfield as the officiating minister. The remains were laid to rest in the Bellville Cemetery. [Butler Enterprise: 05 December 1902, Vol. XIV, No. 48] [bio courtesy of Rhonda Bletner]
