Person:Oscar Ludlam (1)

Obit found in the Warren Co Genealogical Soc. Records Room; published in The Western Star 10 Feb 1921:

"Oscar T. Ludlum was born near Morrow, Ohio, Dec 29, 1840; died Jan. 18, 1921, aged 80 years and 20 days.

Left an orphan at the age of four years, his childhood was spent among relatives, but to the end of his life he always felt the loss of a mother's love and care.

He was married Feb. 20, 1865 to Martha Ireland and for almost 56 years they have traveled life's road together always lving in this same place. To this union were born four children, two of whom died in childhood, the others Edgar A. Ludlum and Mrs. F. C. Coddington, with four grandchildren, are left to give what comfort and consolation they can to grandma.

It is said by one who has known him through the prime and decline of his years, no funeral sermon need by preached, that his life has been guided by that law which is "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you," and a man who has thus lived has fulfilled his obligation to his Creator and has made his life a sermon."
