Kate’s Notes: I would like to have but as yet have not found a full obituary for Oscar Gilliland, which would provide more genealogical information. However, we do know that Oscar’s wife was Mary Meldick, the daughter of Philip Meldick and Phoebe Gahm. Oscar and Mary had one son, Edwin Vaught Gilliland. For more on this line, visit Ronald Hunter’s excellent website at: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/u/n/Ronald-J-Hunter-FL/GENE21-0069.html
