"... My Grandpa Orra C Kosier's middle name was not Culbertson. Culbertson is his granmother's maiden name and a cousin decided that the C. in his name probably stood for Culbertson. No proof has ever been found to prove that. His name always appears as Orra C. Kosier. My mom said she never saw her dad's name written any other way either. ... Just noticed another mistake. Grandpa Orra C Kosier was not born in Kunkle, Ohio. He was born in Hamer, Ohio.
