Biography

Omar W. Wait was born on 1 May 1869 in Catskill, Greene County, New York. He and Cora J. Willetts were married MAYBE 1896. He died on 3 February 1947 at age 77 in Alton, Madison County, Illinois. He was buried at Valhalla Memorial Park in Godfrey, Madison County, Illinois.
There is some question as to whether this is the right Omar W. Wait. Both parents were dead before Omar was 5, and it's not known who raised him and his brother. The burial information says that his father's name was William who was from England and his mother's name Smith. The latter is correct. Omar was a paint contractor in Alton, IL, and apparently spelled his name Omer. Omar W. Wait had person sources.1
