• Notes

  Because he signed his WWI DRC with an 'X' as his mark, it appears he was illiterate at the time. Oliver's death certificate states he was divorced. In his WWI DRC he states his nearest relative to be J. E. Trollinger of Sharon, York County, South Carolina. It is unclear exactly who J. E. Trollinger is. This person could be his wife if he was married at the time or it could possibly be his brother, John. Until proof arises, it is unknown exactly who his wife was. WWI Veteran Pvt. Co.
