General Notes: Husband - Rev. William E. Oller


He received his primary education in the public schools of his native county, afterwards entered Washington and Jefferson College, from which he graduated in 1875; then entered Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, and was graduated from that institution in 1878. He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Washington, at Burgettstown, in April, 1877. He accepted a call from the Presbyterian church of Tarentum, Allegheny County, and was ordained and installed pastor of that church, September 10, 1878. Mr. Oller remained in charge at Tarentum for nearly four years, and June 19, 1882, accepted the pastorate of the Presbyterian church of Butler, Pennsylvania, for which he preached for over a decade. His ministry was marked by a rigid devotion to his duties, and an unswerving Christian rectitude in the prosecution of his labors. Under his pastorate the church prospered, and his earnest, untiring efforts bore good fruit in the steady, substantial growth of the congregation, and the development of a generous Christian sentiment among its members.
