Lake-Eglington, Olive, 1895-1992
An early Las Vegas resident, Olive Lake-Eglington (neé Olive Lake) was born in 1895 in California. In 1904, she moved with her family from Ontario, California to Las Vegas, Nevada in a covered wagon. Eglington's father, Robert E. Lake, was a barber and was also involved in the early civic development of young Las Vegas, for which an elementary school was eventually named in his honor. Olive Lake graduated in the first Clark County High School class in 1913, and soon after married Earle Eglington, who had moved to Las Vegas in 1911.
