Victor Ray Oswald
1915-1987
The New Year was quick to bring good news to the family of Ludwig Fredrick and Christina Maria Klingler Oswald. January 8, 1915 was a cold, wintry day, but the Oswald home was warm and full of excitement when the midwife announced, “It’s a boy!” *Lou and Maria had heard that news six times before when Ludwig Fredrick Jr., George Henry, Arnold Martin, Elmer Heber, Herbert Wilford and Willard James had been born. This, their seventh son, was to be named Victor Ray. His sisters, Verna Pauline and Mary Matilda were thrilled with the news. Although they were just four and three, they were anxious to help their mother care for this new baby.
The Oswald family lived in a home Lou had built for his new bride. The home was on forty acres his father had gifted him out of the Osswald Family Homestead at Coltman, Idaho. The home was built of logs and plaster and was unbelievably small for so many family members, but it was clean and tidy and filled with lots of love; a wonderful place for this little boy to begin his life.
