Person:Andrew Ames (3)

A family note indicates that he "died a hero at Antietam". This is obviously wrong, as he was in the 1870 census for Washington, MI. His stepmother's brother, Warren, DID die at Antietam. Oscar may have gone to California, perhaps following his brother Charles.

There is a story that an Ames child committed suicide about 1870 in Applegate, MI. I am not at all sure, but it may be Oscar.
