Oscar came to Salt Lake prior to 1859 when he was married to Jane. They lived in Farmington for awhile where their first child was born. They spent time in Smithfield and then they were some of the first settlers in Providence.
The men immediately set about erecting cabins using pine logs from nearby canyons. The cabins were arranged in two rows facing each other. The two ends of the rows could be quickly sealed off to form a fort in case of an Indian attack. Fireplaces provided heat, light, and cooking while wild flowers made sping gardens on the sod-thatched roofs.
Jane was a member of the first Relief Society organized in Providence. Oscar was active in the LDS Church as well as in community affairs. Because the people lived so close together and were bound by necessity to each other by a need of protection, they soon learned to get along and to work together in all things.
Oscar was involved in the Indian Wars and the problems brought on by Johnston's Army.
