Born to Alfred and Bessie (Savage) Oldham on January 17, 1904, in the Town of York, the deceased was educated there and farmed in the area for several years.

He moved from the area and worked at various places in Wisconsin, and returned to Neillsville about eight years ago, making his home at the Merchants Hotel. Three years ago, due to failing health, he became a resident of Neillsville Memorial Home. His death followed a lingering illness.
