  Notes	Oscar registered for the draft on June 5, 1917, in Kaukauna. He was single and was a salesman for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. in central Wisconsin. Oscar was described as tall and of medium build with blue eyes and brown hair. He had “defective eyes.” In the 1920 census, he is probably the Oscar T Thompson living with his wife Veneta in Milwaukee. Although that Oscar’s father was said to be born in Wisconsin and his mother in Norway, the census-taker most likely got things turned around because the Milwaukee Oscar’s occupation, salesman of rubber goods, is the same as our Oscar had in the 1917 draft registration. In the 1930 census, Oscar is back in Neenah. (He is indexed as Oren T Thompson with wife Weneta.) Oscar is now doing well. He is a staff superintendent in a paper mill, lives in a house that he owns and that is worth $8000 (338 East Columbia Avenue), and employs a 26 year-old live-in servant named Hazel Belling. Veneta’s mother, Mae Beck, a 62 year-old widow, also lives with them. Oscar was not a veteran. In the 1940 census, he and Veneta and Dorothy live in Neenah. Oscar is staff superintendent at a paper mill. They live in the same house, 338 East Columbia Avenue, in which they all lived five years earlier. Included in their household is Una Beck, a 40 year-old divorcee who had lived in Milwaukee in 1935. She is called “sister-in-law” and is an unemployed public school teacher. Oscar is a college graduate, Veneta and Una have two years of college. In his World War II draft registration, he was employed by Kimberly Clark of Neenah.
