Biography
Lewis P. Olds was a North Carolina lawyer and politician who served as North Carolina Attorney General in 1869-1870.
In 1868, he was offered the presidency of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Kemp P. Battle wrote, "As there was no treasury in sight from which a salary could be drawn, Mr. Olds wisely declined [the offer of the presidency]." According to Battle, Olds was the son-in-law of then-Governor William W. Holden. He represented Wake County in the North Carolina Senate in 1870-71, when he voted against removing his father-in-law from office.
President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Olds to be U.S. consul to St. Helena., where he served in 1876 and 1877.
