| Notes |
- Ima Senn said he fought in WWI and was gassed and died later because of whatever gas. His death certificate says he died of pneumonia from having a flu.
He is on the 1900 and 1910 census records with his parents but I cannot find him in 1920. In 1920, I found Oscar and Betty in Pirtleville, Arizona, where his Uncle Dan lived. This is NOT our Oscar. In 1930, Ella is back home with her parents in Milam county.
- (Medical):He claimed he was dying of the gas he was exposed to in WWI
