I am from his second marriage to Olga Ketchenson/Harvey/Ryan/Friedman, she lived to be 100 years old. Their daughter Nellie Harvey Richins is my great grandmother from my maternal side. Olga had bright red hair.

As I recall, Olga was 21 and not married. She didn't want her parents choosing her husband so she married GWH. GWH was her best friend’s grandfather. She was 21 and he was around 70 when they married and they had 2 children together. As I recall, GWH died from complications from injuries after being hit by a train on the train tracks after his buggy got stuck in Biggs, CA. This made Olga a widow with 2 children by 26 years old.

Olga, ended up marrying 2 times after GWH. Both marriages lasted less than 2 years and both ended because her husbands passed away. I don’t know the causes of their deaths.

GWH is buried in the Chico, CA Cemetery with his 1st wife.

If you want more history of my family I have it, just let me know.
