Culbert Levy Olson was born on November 7, 1876, in Fillmore, Utah, of Western pioneer parents, Daniel and Delilah (King) Olson, and was a descendent of one of the signers of the U.S. Constitution. His early youth was spent on a farm in Utah. He was the second of two boys, his elder brother being Emmet Olson.
