Oldham was dead. He had been a sufferer from Brights disease and stomach troubles for several years, but had managed to look after his extensive business affairs until within the last three months, during all of latter time being confined to his home. He suffered long and bore it patiently, and the end came peacefully on Tuesday morning, April 6th, 1897, at seven o'clock. While he was cognizant of the fact that his time was short, and his family fully aware of his condition, his death was even more sudden than was expected. He was one of our most enterprising business men, and leaves behind him a record for honesty, fairness and manliness that is worthy of emulation. He was born Nov. 27th, 1844 and at his death was aged 52 years, 4 months and 9 days. He leaves a wife, three sons and one daughter to mourn his departure. In his death the widow loses a kind and loving husband, the children an indulgent and honored parent, and the community a respected and law-abiding citizen. The remains were taken to Paoli on the 9:45 train, on Wednesday, and immediately conveyed to the cemetery where they were consigned to the grave beside his children who had preceded him. A short service was conducted at the cemetery. To the bereaved wife, children and relatives, the PROGRESS extends its heartfelt sympathy. CARD OF THANKS We desire to tender our heartfelt thanks to all the dear friends who showered kindly acts upon our dear husband and father during his last illness, and so nobly assisted us during our bereavement. Also, we desire to thank the train and station employees of the Monon for favors. Mrs. C. W. Oldham and Family.
