  He grew up near Collins and was raised by his grandparents.

Collins in St. Clair county. To this union they were blessed raising Mollie Mae 
Dozier Famuliner and then later born to them were sons Arthur Ray, David Andrew, 
Thomas Benton and Edwin Wayne. They also had a daughter that was stillborn.
  Over the years they made their home in and around Collins, Ohio Post Office, 
Latour, by the Brown School House near Garden City and later moving SE of 
Deepwater in 1963.  They purchased his current farm in 1968 in Mt. Zion and 
lived there until his death.

Bill, Fred, Vera, Nellie, Erma, Rosey and Lillie.
  Oliver was always a farmer and enjoyed working the earth planting his crops 
watching them grown then harvesting them.  He also enjoyed his farm, he was 
content there and if he did leave for a short time was always ready to go back 
home. In the most recent years he is probably best remembered sitting in his 
yard under a shade tree visiting with friends, family and neighbors, watching 
the world go by from his point of view at the top of his hill.
