Olaf Olsen was found lying in the gutter in front of Mary Wilson’s house after being fatally shot Feb. 9, 1913.
Near the end of the era of mounted cavalry, soldiers on horseback are shown circa 1910 outside the post stables at Fort Sam Houston.I am searching for information about Olaf Olson, who attempted to sexually assault a woman in the San Antonio area in 1913. She shot him in self-defense, and he died. Her name was Mary Wilson; she was arrested Feb. 9, 1913, and Sheriff John W. Tobin said she confessed.
News accounts of the fatal shooting say that when Olsen died, he had served in the Army for 10 years, so he may have tried other work before enlisting. As a member of the 3rd Cavalry, Troop M, he served two years in the Philippine Islands during the Philippine-American War before the unit was ordered to Fort Sam in 1908.
The Mary Wilson of this true-crime story rented 313 Hood St. from the 1910 through 1913 city directories, said Beth Standifird,librarian. Wilson is represented as the sole occupant. No occupation is listed for her.
