Oscar was born Ole Oscar Augustsen in Kristiana (Oslo), Norway to Marie Olsdatter and August Erickson. He was listed in the printed version of the 1885 census for Richland county (Walcott) as Ivar Oscar, Auger servant/farmhand to Ole Iverson. Very hard read, but says Oscar Augustsen. His story from the history of Marion, ND states this.
