    • He registered for the draft in Thief River Falls in 1917. At that time, he was a section man for the Great Northern Railway, was married, and lived in Thief River Falls. He was of medium height and build with blue eyes and dark hair.

      Living next to, or perhaps with, the John Jorgens family in Mower County in the 1920 census.

      In the 1930 census, Oscar and his family lived at 941 14th Avenue in Minneapolis. Oscar was a grain shoveler at an elevator.

      According to his death certificate, he died from a skull fracture after he fell from a moving car in Bloomington. Oscar was an engineer at a grain elevator. He and his wife, who was the informant for his death certificate, lived at 4349 40th Avenue S.

      His death is described in an article in the 21 Jun 1939 edition of the Minneapolis Star:

      Police and deputy sheriffs Tuesday were investigating the death in General Hospital of Oscar Skogstad, 43, of 4340 40th Avenue S who died of a fractured skull. Skogstad’s son, Clifford, said his father leaped out of the rear window of an automobile near 94th Street and Lyndale Ave Sunday night. Clifford said he was driving the automobile, which contained Mr. and Mrs. Skogstad, their two daughters and a friend. The father did not give any indication of his intent to leap, Clifford said, and no reason could be given for his action.
