Oscar's middle initial is reported in 1940 as a C, but his daughter's Social Security Record has it as an S. In the 1930 census he was listed as Sylvester Bayless. His WWII registration has his full name and his own signature in the full name Oscar Sylvester Bayless. Oscar and Pearl's daughter Ruby is living two doors down, enumerated on the same census page.

Oddly, Oscar's memorial on Find a Grave had his name as Oscar C Bayless. No photo of the gravestone is included for verification. This was probably from the puzzling entry in the 1940 census. I submitted his full name as found in the WWI registration and an update was done by the manager of Oscar's profile.
