From the diary of Mrs. Elizabeth Oldham of Moxham
Sunday - February 2, 1947
Snowed last night and it snowed some by spells, all day. But the snow is not deep.
Mrs. John Berkebile was here a while this afternoon.
And John & Alice was here a while this evening. 
Ida is not feeling very good this evening. and Dad is not good either.

I have been reading your post of Elizabeth Oldham, it sparked my interest because my great-grandmother's last name was Oldham. We are part of a large family database on-line under Blackburn family tree. I did some research and it turns out that Elizabeth, was born Elizabeth Bell Hitechew on June 30 1879 in Shade Township somerset Pa. She passed away on November 11 1966 and is buried in Grandview the Ce2 section with her husband and a 10 year old son. She out live all but one of her children. Elizabeth was the
youngest of nine children.

Anyone is able to look at the family tree it's www.blackburn-tree.org feel free to look, her parents are listed along with her brothers and sisters.

Please contact me by e-mail if you have any questions mykuhnfamily@yahoo.com

Looking forward to reading your posts, it is amazing that you have this and thank you so much for your time.
