     Oscar Leander Wist, son of Olof Johan Vist and Karolina Nilsdotter, was born on 24 March 1900 at Östra Ämtervik, Värmland, Sverige.1

     Oscar emigrated on 14 March 1931, from Göteborg, Sverige.2

     Oscar was found on the "Gripsholm" passenger list on 14 March 1931, departing Göteborg, Sverige. He was listed as a painter. Described as 5' 10", fair complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. His final destination was New York.3,4

     The U.S. officially entered World War II on 8 December 1941 following an attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Just about a year before that, in October 1940, President Roosevelt had signed into law the first peacetime selective service draft in U.S. history, due to rising world conflicts. After the U.S. entered WWII a new selective service act required that all men between ages 18 and 65 register for the draft. Between November 1940 and October 1946, over 10 million American men were registered. The Fourth Registration, often referred to as the "old man's registration", was conducted on 27 April 1942 and registered men who born on or between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897 - men who were between 45 and 64 years old - and who were not already in the military. Oscar filled out a draft card for World War II on 14 February 1942 (at age 41), while living at Queens, New York.5

     Oscar died in December 1969, at age 69.6
