I really appreciate your help. I don't know why my grandfather's marker would have A.W. on it instead of A.C. His eldest son was A. W. and he and another brother handled the arrangements for the cemetery and for the funeral. I still believe that Oscar has to be a cousin because I have learned that for awhile my grandparents were neighbors to Oscar's sister, Odessa Schoonover Hix. It would be strange for 2 unrelated families to be in the same area with that name. All Schoonovers in the USA descend from two brothers back in the early 1600s so that being the case, Oscar has to be related one way or another! This is getting interesting, thank you! Lori
