Oscar Melvin Edmands

Oscar was an elder sibling of Ernest Carl Edmands, 1884-1928 (our ancestor). Oscar lived a very long time (of all the seven sons of Artemas Seymour Edmands only half-brother Edward Wesley Edmands had a longer life), but he was very sick for a while in his mid-seventies and he had to have his gall bladder "cleaned out" when he was 80. Oscar did outlive both of his wives, though.
