Plaskett family

Olive Flavilla Plaskett McLean

Olive Flavilla Plaskett was born in February 1860 in the Mendocino country. She married Allen McLean — the brother-in-law who first proposed that the family build St. Luke’s church at Jolon, and who in William Lucas’s last years proudly escorted the old patriarch to the polls. She died February 9, 1936.
