Olney, Oliver H.
Oliver Olney, brother of textbook author Jesse Olney (1798-1872) and son of Ezekial Olney, moved to Ohio in 1831 and became a Mormon. When Joseph Smith denounced him in 1842, he began assembling this collection. He had hopes of beginning his own church, but in 1843 he was convicted and jailed for robbing Moses Smith's store.
