This memorial is for Oly Guy Michael, also known as O.G. Michael and Oscar Guy Michael. He is listed on this memorial as Oscar Guy Michael, though the only document found listing his name as Oscar is the death certificate. The obituary our family has had since his death, lists him simply as O.G. At the time of his death, his wife was visiting family in Missouri, so she may not have been the person filling in the information. They had only lived in town for a short while, so the assumption is they were not very well known. Since there is not currently a gravestone, I am choosing to use the name listed on the death certificate. If I find more documentation, I will update this memorial at that time.

The newspaper obituary states O.G. Michael died of a heart attack while walking to town to have a flat tire repaired. The published obituary and records from the Broadwater Museum Curator confirmed his burial location.

A Representative photo of what the marker may have looked like was provided by Linda Huth, Curator of the Broadwater County Museum, for personal use on Find a Grave and on my Ancestry family tree. Records with exact grave locations were most likely destroyed in a fire many years back. Most of the metal and wood markers are unreadable now.

If anyone out there has further documentation on O. G. aka Oly or Oscar Michael, my great grandfather, please contact me by leaving a message here on Find a Grave.
