Bio

She was born to John D. Mayo and Lydia Catherine (Wood) Mayo. Ola married Edwin Outlaw 29 May 1904 in Elgin. She died of leukemia. LAST RITES FOR MRS. E. R. OUTLAW HELD THURSDAY FROM BAPTIST CHURCH died 20 Sept 1939 Ola Ruth Mayo, daughter of the late J. D. and Lydia Mayo, was born March 25, 1886, at Bastrop. She was married May 29, 1904, at Elgin to E. R. Outlaw. They made their home here for many years, moving to Austin some ten years ago, where they spent the intervening years with the exception of a short interval back in Elgin about two years ago. Since that time, Mrs. Outlaw has served as District Supervisor of N. Y. A. Girls, maintaining her office in Austin. She was a member of the Baptist church and attended West Austin Baptist Church and participated in its many activities. She was a member of Mary Rebekah Lodge No. 117, I. O. O. F., of Austin, having served efficiently in various official capacities as well as on the degree team of that order; she was also a member of the Woodman Circle. Mrs. Outlaw was of a friendly nature, possessed an engaging personality and high sense of humor, hence made many friends where ever she went. She was a good wife, devoted mother, and true friend and was never happier than when doing something for others and led a very active life. Stricken ill nine days prior to her death, Mrs. Outlaw was rushed to Brackenridge hospital where she was critically ill eight days, passing on at 5:13 Wednesday afternoon, September 20th. The body was brought overland to Elgin by J. C. Miller, Undertaker, and rested at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Cecil R. Miller, until 4:00 o'clock Thursday, September 21st, when funeral services were held from First Baptist Church, Elgin, with her pastor, Rev. O. G. Barrow, Austin, officiating, assisted by Rev. G. M. McNeilly, pastor of the local Baptist church. The church was filled to capacity with friends and relatives from Austin, Elgin and various other points, assembled to pay their last respects. The profusion of beautiful floral emblems banking the mound of her final resting place, attested to the high esteem in which she was held both in Elgin and Austin. Active pallbearers were: Jim Harris and Vernon Carter, Elgin; Sherman Birdwell, John Gresham, Bill Deason, L. W. Mercer, Harry Baker and Frank Swartz, of Austin. Interment was in Elgin cemetery. Surviving other than the husband are two daughters, Mrs. Cecil R. Miller, Elgin and Mrs. J. R. Adkerson, Austin; one son, Jack Outlaw, Austin; two sisters, Mrs. Charlie Carter, Elgin; Mrs. Frank Smith, Austin.
