I need help!!! I have looking for the death place of Samuel and Sarah/Sallie Oldham for many many years and this has really got me baffled. Here is what I know: They were in Bellaire, Belmont Co., Ohio in the 1880 census. On the 19 Jan 1887 Sarah/Sallie Oldham gave birth to Ruth Oldham. According to Ruth's death cert and an obituary in the Coshocton Tribune Nov 19, 1956 she was born in Bellaire, Belmont, OH. A family bible has a death date for Sarah/ Sallie Oldham as 23 June 1887 and Samuel Oldham 24 Dec 1892, but no death place ( I am thinking Sarah/Sallie died of some sort of child bearing complication and I was think she could have died in a hospital or maybe not) I wrote to Belmont Co with all the death dates and they found nothing but a Samuel Oldham that died December 1, 1891 age 4 months and 5 days. I checked a cool Belmont site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~marlaprice... and there was nothing there for my Samuel and Sarah/Sallie Oldham just the Samuel Oldham baby that died Dec 1, 1891. I checked West Virgina death records at http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0 lots of Oldhams but not my Samuel and Sarah/Sallie . Some where I got some information about burials in Greenwood Cemetary Block G. Lot 45 a Samuel Oldham date unreadable, a Sarah Oldham 1840 to 1882 and a Archie Infant 1882. Any one have any ideas? Can anyone help me please before I come to the conclusion they were aliens or they were beamed up by Scotty. Marcia Rothman mjrothman@comcast.net
