Arthur Frederick Ostrander

[3] Arthur was the youngest child of Abram Cline (September 12, 1843 – October 2, 1914) and Harriet Louise Ostrander (April 15, 1856 – November 6, 1947).

He attended public schools along with his siblings, and worked hard at excelling in the technological fields of study,[vague] and labored on the farm during term breaks.

Poe, by then nearly blind and paralytic, soon discovered the boy had both the technical skills and dexterity to perform fine metal work, and could act as his veritable hands and eyes on tasks of minute detail.

The family consented, and he exited the schooling system to become a full-time member of the artificial respiration device team at age ten.

In doing so he received a rigorous education in science, in addition to classes in Classical Studies and the arts provided quid pro quo by his tutors.

[citation needed] Arthur married Annie Caribel Campen in 1919, and they had two children, Cline Brooks Ostrander and Arthur Frederick Ostrander, Jr.[citation needed] He lived his life in the Norfolk and Chesapeake, Virginia areas, and after a successful career with the shipyard, retired to his home in Chesapeake, dividing his leisure time amongst fishing, hunting and spending time with his family.
