Olga von Oven Jatho was born in 1897 in Charleston, the sixth daughter of George Jatho and Arnolda von Oven. She spent her childhood at her parents' Doughty Street home and at age seventeen married Louis DuBose Quin, whose family had come to Charleston from Washington, Georgia. Louis was a printer and owner of The Quin Press, a small business in Charleston (see photo below).
Daughter Arnolda (named for her grandmother) was born in 1923 and a son Louis Jr. in 1928. Tragically, when their son was only five months old, Louis Sr. died of a sudden illness and Olga was left with two children to raise on her own.
With the support of her older sisters Georgia and Maryliese, who had inherited the home on Doughty Street after their faither George Jatho died, Olga took a job at the Porter Academy teaching chemistry and was able to provide a comfortablle living for her children. She also retained ownership of the Quin Press, her late husband's business. Their aunts entertained the children with stories about their Jatho ancestors and they grew up with a firm sense of family history.
After her children were grown Olga remarried Jacob Hieble, a former professor at The Citadel in Charleston. They moved to Texas in the 1950s where Jacob taught at North Texas State Universtiy.
Olga died in 1985 in Denton, Texas and was survived by her second husband, children Louis and Arnolda, and seven grandchildren. Olga is buried at Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston.
