OSCAR E. LENT, a well known farmer and business man of Lents, Oregon, was born November 25, 1865. His parents were Oliver P. and Martha A. (Buckley) Lent, a more detailed account of whom appears elsewhere in this work in connection with the sketch of Fremont Lovett Lent, a brother, of our subject. The youth of Oscar E. Lent was passed in Oregon, where he received a good common school and business education. He remained with his parents until attaining his majority and then engaged in farming and in the wood business quite extensively and also has been connected with the sawmill business. He is occupying a fine home in Lents, where he owns many vacant lots and where he is also a heavy stockholder in the Grange Hall.
On the 31st of October, 1888, Mr. Lent was married to Miss Vilura L. Anderson, whose birth occurred in St. Croix county, Wisconsin, March 4, 1866, her parents being William and Augusta (Marshall) Anderson.
The father, was a native of Pennsylvania, while the mother was born near Boston, Massachusetts. Their marriage occurred, however, in Wisconsin, where Mrs. Anderson passed away in 1869. William Anderson continued living in that state until 1894, when he came to Oregon, here residing until the time of his death, which occurred October 12, 1911. He was twice married and by his first wife had two children: Mrs. Vilura L. Lent; and William Anderson, living in Lents, Oregon. For his second wife William Anderson, Sr., chose Eva Beers, a native of Minnesota, whom he wedded in 1882 and by whom he had five children, as follows: Mrs. Clauda Rowland, of Corvallis, whose husband is a college professor; Cathie, who is the wife of John F. Watts and resides in Canada; Merlie, who is a resident of Colusa county, California; Verlie, a college student at 0«rvallis, Oregon; and Thomas K., at home. Unto Oscar E. and Vilura L. (Anderson) Lent have been born four children, namely: Claude P., born May 31, 1890, who is in the high school and is still under the parental roof; Leila E., born February 12, 1892, who is a high school graduate, has also been educated in music and is now attending Willamette University; Jasper C., whose natal year was 1893 and who is a high school student; Oscar Paul, whose birth occurred on the 7th of October, 1895, and who is also a high school student.
Mr. Lent is of the democratic faith politically but has never been active in politics nor a seeker of public office, although he has been a member of the school board in Lents for eight years. He is a member of the Grange and also belongs to the Woodmen of the World and the Maccabees. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Survivalist church, while his wife belongs to the Methodist Episcopal church.
Oscar E. Lent, by his continued residence in this county and his activity in business, fraternal and church life, has formed the acquaintance of a large number of the best people of Multnomah county and Portland, as well as being a very prominent man in Lents, where he resides. He is among the many useful business men of Oregon and wherever known is respected for the many good qualities which he possesses.
