Oscar was the youngest of a family of seven children. His mother passed away when he was six weeks of age. He was raised by his grandmother Adee with the help of his older brothers and sisters.
He was united in marriage to Winifred Montiague on August 17, 1912 at Salina, KS. They set up housekeeping on his father's homestead. To this union were born a son, Elvin, and a daughter, Eileen.
