Biography
Oscar Kahler was born in March 1871 in Minden, Montgomery County, New York on the farm of his grandmother, Elizabeth Keesler. His parents, George and Rosina moved to Cherry Valley, New York in 1874 but left soon after settling and finally purchased land in Big Flats, New York. On this land, once owned by Andrew Bennett, stood a small farm house. The family lived in this farm house for a while until a larger and nicer home could be built across the road. In about 1880 the new home was completed and the old farm house was used as a boarding house.
