Notes:
                   Loved working with horses.  Killed by lightning while working on a
railroad construction crew. It occurred at night while the crew was
asleep.  A thunder & lightning storm developed and Oscar became
concerned about the horses and went out to care for them and was struck
while doing so.  Unknown to his sister Lillian, he had taken out a life
insurance policy on himself, naming her as beneficiary. The proceeds
enabled her to attend college which she otherwise never expected to be
able to do.  That changed the entire course of her life. At time of his
birth, Alamosa was in Conejos County which was divided in 1924 and
Alamosa County was created.
