Ollie Washington Deese was the 7th child of Henry Harrison Deese, Sr. and his wife Nellie Isabella Huneycutt.

He married Carrie Burnette on 16 January 1915 in Stanly County, North Carolina. By 1940, he was divorced and living with his brother Martin Lester Deese and his wife Vertie. I have found no children born to this union.

Ollie spent his life as a General Contractor and Painter.

Ollie Washington Deese died on 13 January 1960 and was buried in the Morven cemetery with his parents and sibling. Sadly, his death date has not been added to his tombstone.

 

Ollie Washington Deese is my 1st Cousin twice removed.
