Lucius F. Olmsted was born at Benson, Vermont, March 10th, 1796. His mother died when he was but two years of age, and at the age of eight he removed to Shelborn, in the same State, where during his stay he worked summers and went to school winters, thus not only supporting himself but securing an education which fitted him for the occupation of school teaching. In the spring of 1814 he removed to Cayuga Bridge, N. Y., and resided there until April, 1835. March 9, 1822, he was married to Emeline Willard of that place, and they lived happily together for nearly fifty years, she surviving him and mourning his departure. Mr. Olmsted was converted under the preaching of Rev. Medad Pomeroy, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church from the year 1830, and has since that time been a subscriber to The Evangelist. In April, 1835, he removed to Lakeville, Livingston County, residing there until the spring of 1858, when he made his home at Geneseo. Since I have known him he has been a member of the 2d Presbyterian Church of this place and one of its chief pecuniary supporters. He always gave liberally for the support of the Gospel at home and abroad and when called upon for his own Church support, always said, "Put me down for one-tenth of what you need." — From private letter.
