Oscar Edwin Lightfoot ^{1 2}

   Another name for Oscar was "Ed" Lightfoot.³

  General Notes:

The obituary for his father who died on 15 Mar 1917 indicated that Edwin died in 1909.
-------------------------------------------

  Death Notes:

Death date is after the 1900 census based on the fact that his mother stated only one child was no longer living at that time. The son, Thomas E. Lightfoot, had died in 1879 so therefore he was the one child no longer living and all other siblings must have lived past the date of the 1900 census, 6 June 1900, even though 3 of the siblings were living elsewhere and not with their parents.
