From the Westfall Country book-referred to him as Oscar. 1910 census Oregon, Malheur, his father was born in Virginia and his mother was born in Missouri. From Gram's notes it shows that he was 23 when he married Alice. I had another Oscar in the dbase that was married to an Alice. His birthdate was 1876-he was born in Missouri and his wife Alice was born in 1881 in Nevada. The information for Alice is the same as for Alice Newby. The information for Oscar is the same as John Oscar except for the birth year but I had 1887 for his birth year making him only 13 when married. I am sure that these two (Oscar and John Oscar) are one in the same and I have combined them.
