Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in death record as May 22 1870, and date on headstone is also 1870. But his birth record shows it as May 29 1872. He was not in the 1870 Census and was age 8 in the 1880 Census. Although his name is entered as Edmund in his birth record, he seems to have predominately used the spelling Edmon. Note (2) Double headstone with wife Margaret. There is also a double headstone for him and his first wife Dessie at West Alexander Cemetery in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Both headstones have his name as Oscar B. Swiger, with birth/death dates 1892-1968. Note (3) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Feb 1895.
