Oscar received an A.B. from Drake Univ. in 1888, an A.M. from Drake 1890, and his Ph.D. Univ. of Chicago 1902. He also did advanced work at Johns Hopkins. He was dismissed as a Drake Professor in 1899 apparently due to some controversial views he held and expressed (after being told to not publically discuss them). It isn't really clear what those views were. After he left Drake, in 1902 he was a clergyman and non-resident reader in Semitic Languages at the Univ. of Chicago. He lived in Lindenwood, Illinois.
The Christian Evangelist published articles written by him in December, 1900 on ``How to study the Wisdom literature.''
Wilma Wickizer Rodgers' records name Oscar's three children. She notes that she made several real efforts to locate the three but never succeeded. She saw Oscar last in Norman in 1919 and had had no contact since then. The three boys grew up in Oregon.
Oscar's Keokuk County obituary says he had been a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Eagle Pass, OR for several years.
Oscar was a public school teacher in 1910 in Phoenix, Jackson Co., Oregon, and a college teacher in 1920 in Albany, Oregon.
