    Notes:

    Per contributor Teresa Parrish:

    "During the Civil War Paul served in the Union Army in Company D, 1st Louisiana Cavalry.
    On the 1880 Travis county, Texas census his occupation is 'special policeman'. Presumably it had to do with Reconstruction."

    Thank you, Teresa!

    FOR THE RECORD!!!! He was indeed born in FRANCE per his death cert. and census records. That kind of consistency, unusual in genealogy, seals it. His Civil War military rec., enlistment, does list his b.p. as New Orleans, La. BUT IT IS WRONG!! tkp

    Notes:

    Oswin was a victim of the April 7, 1900 catastrophic dam break that came about after a couple days of rain that put pressure on the MacDonald Dam it couldn't handle. The flooding from the storm combined with the dam break was tremendous. According to reports I've read Oswin, in a nutshell, and his horse and buggy, were swept off the dike that crossed the river and was near the Bouldin Creek bridge and the Congress Ave. bridge. He happened upon a pole and was safe until a house caught in the torrent hit the pole. He was found about 7 days later in debris along the river in Webberville and was interred on a man's farm. His parents sent friends to get him so he was disinterred and identified by a friend based on a patch on a shoe. He was promptly interred at Oakwood Cemetery.
