Olga Lillian Hribar was born on August 15, 1912 in Willard to Frank and Anna (Zitnik) Hribar. She was raised on the family farm and received her education at the McKinley School. At the age of 17, she moved to Chicago to live with her sister and worked for the Stewart-Warner Manufacturing Company. Olga was united in marriage on September 22, 1914 to Frank A. Hedemark, in Greenwood, and farmed there for the next two years. They moved back to Chicago in 1947. In 1956, they moved to Toronto, Canada, where Frank helped open a plant for his employer. They lived in Canada until Frank’s retirement in 1972. After retiring, they relocated to Rock Dam and then to Neillsville in 1988. She resided there until the time of her death.
