Oldham was buried at Fairfield Cemetery, Fairfield, Clay Co., Nebraska.1,2,3 He was born on June 30, 1863 at Eddyville, Harrison Township, Mahaska Co., Iowa.1,3 He married Laura Margaret Keeney on May 30, 1894 at Clay Center, Clay Co., Nebraska.3,5 Arah H. Oldham died on March 3, 1930 at DeWeese, Clay Co., Nebraska, at age 66.1,3 He Arah H. Oldham was born June 30, 1863, near Eddyville, Iowa, where he lived with his parents until he was about elven years of age when the family moved to Nucklolls county, Nebraska, and here is where the family lived on a homestead until he grew to manhood and completed his education. In May, 1895, Mr Oldham was united in marriage to Miss Laura Keeney and began housekeeping in the community where he had been reared from childhood and underwent the hardships of helping to develop the prairies became our beautiful country which we are now enjoying To this union was born one son, who has always lived at home, and was with his father when the end came. In the year 1902 Mr Oldham and his family moved to the state of Washington, where they remained until 1912, when they returned to Nebraska, and settled near Deweese in Clay county which has been their home until the time of his death, which occurred last Monday morning at 12:35, March 3, 1930, being 66 years, 8 months and 3 days of age. The subject of this sketch has always been in reasonable good health until about two weeks ago when he took ill and everything was done that skilled physicians could do, but all in vain. Early in life he confessed his faith in Christ and became identified with the Restoration movement and placed his membership with the Church of Christ at Deweese, where it remained to the time of his death. The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 in the church of which he was a member in Deweese by the pastor of the Church of Christ of Edgar who spoke words of comfort to a large company of friends and neighbors who had gathered to pay a tribute of respect to a companion, a father and a neighbor of the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Cor. 1:3-4, "Blessed be God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort who comforteth us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith ourselves are comforted of God." The music was furnished by a mixed quartet with Miss Dunkle at the piano. The floral offerings were very beautiful. The pallbearers were members of the Woodman lodge. Our deceased brother leaves to mourn a loving companion, one son, Erwin, four sisters, one brother, besides many friends and neighbors. May the bereaved ones have strength for this sad experience in life, are the wishes of the writer and his many friends. Interment was made in the Fairfield cemetery. on March 7, 1930.3

     George W. R. Furnish was buried at Oxbow Cemetery, Nelson, Nuckolls Co., Nebraska.1,2,3 He was born on May 9, 1883 at Oxbow, Nuckolls Co., Nebraska.1 He died on April 15, 1907 at Grand Island, Hall Co., Nebraska, at age 23.1,3 He Grand Island, Neb., April 16 – George Furnish, a baer (sic) of Lexington, whose relatives live near Edgar, was instantly killed yesterday by a Union Pacific train in the yards east of the city. He was unmarried. Furnish had been seen by several people about town in the morning, and from these it had been learned he had not been drinking. He intended going back to Lexington and it was quite probable that he went down to the lower yards with the intention of getting a train out for the west. He was walking along the tracks westward when passenger train No. 11 came in from the east. He was walking alongside of the track when the fireman blew the signal, and then walked squarely to the center of the track, evidently believing that he was going from the track. He was thrown forward and before railroad men could reach him he was dead, death resulting instantly. Both of his legs and his skull was crushed. The above extract was taken from the Lincoln Star, and the news it conveys is sad indeed. Carson Furnish, a brother of the deceased went to Grand Island and brought the body to Edgar arriving there Tuesday night about midnight. The funeral occurred yesterday from the Ox Bow Church, the Edgar minister, Rev. Branic, conducting the ceremony. It was as large a funeral as had been held at this church for a number of years. Deceased leaves a mother, Mrs. T.J. Whited, a brother, Carson Furnish, and two sisters, Lottie and Maggie Furnish, besides many other near relatives. His body was laid to rest in the Ox Bow Cemetery. on April 18, 1907.3
