The only Ollie (or Oliver) I found in the book of Franklin Township was
Ollie Palmer 1867-1951. But he shares a headstone with Amanda Palmer
1866-1926. This is at Ellis Cemetery which is near Montezuma over behind
the airport sortof (according to the book). Could he have been married
before and Phoebe Jane was a second wife? Could he have been buried in
another township? Or maybe I missed the listing when looking?

Good Luck
