There are unresolved problems with a death date for Ezra Oaks. In the obituary for his widow Henrietta, it says he died in 1895. In the obituary for his daughter Olive dated 1921, it states he died "about 22 years ago", which would be about 1899. These dates conflict with the birth date in the obituary of his son Howard Oaks which states he was born in 1903.
