I believe this Henry is Henry Fidelis Oswald senior, my great-great grandfather. He apparently married Lillian and had two more children after his first wife Elizabeth Deckert Oswald died. "Son Oswald" is Henry Jr., who was killed at age 22 in a railroad accident. I was always told that this line originated in Alsace Lorraine, that they were vintners and he met Elizabeth when they traded for chickens. He considered himself from the German part of Alsace Lorraine and was very emphatic to that end.
