This farm girl was an ardent advocate for women's right to vote. As we know, she would not have to wait much longer to see her dream realized.
Pearl was the younger of the two daughters of Charles and Louise Ols. I've not been able to locate the family through the 1900 census, but they show up in 1906 farming rented lands south and southeast of Hobart. In 1908 they bought the 77-acre Reuben Pierce farm west of Ainsworth, near the old Bullock homestead; they moved onto it in 1910 (having lived out the lease on their rented farm), and there they remained at least through 1920.
Pearl was a cousin of Jennie Ols.
