Shortly after graduating in 1888 from the Indiana Dental College, he became professor of oral surgery at that institution. He was in the Indiana National Guard and saw active duty in the Spanish-American War. Doctor Oliver served as a dentist in the Philippine Insurrection and the Mexican Punitive Expedition.
