There are limited digitized materials on or authored by Lyla Olson. Since many libraries are closed, I am having a hard time accessing primary sources to confirm or elaborate on general statements, e.g. "She was the director of nurses at the Mayo Clinic".

As library access returns I'll be able to get more information. In the meantime - those with better access or knowledge - I appreciate your help. GreatHarridan ( talk) 16:26, 5 September 2020 (UTC) reply

I cited the details that I could in her early life using government records available from https://www.mnhs.org/search/people. I'm not sure wikitree would be considered a reliable secondary sources compared to the original US Census records. I'm removing them from Sources on the Draft, but I will list them below in case they're of use for anyone else editing this page:

• Genealogy - Lyla M. Olson
• Genealogy - Axel H. Olson
• Genealogy - Ragnhild H. Olson
