--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: Not sure of Oliver's middle name. These two sources disagree on it -- Marius vs Myron.
However, a hundred years ago it was common to utilize "latin" equivalents of normal names, and Marius was possibly the latin version of Myron.
