Description
Aunt Caroline - - Died. At Clarinda, Iowa, April 18, 1909, Caroline Oldham Dillingham. This faithful, colored woman came to Platte County from Kentucky with the late F. M. Oldham in 1872. She was large in stature and was of the old-time class of family servants, faithful and true.
When Anna Oldham, daughter of her old mistress, married John L. Dillingham, Aunt Caroline went to live with her, and remained with her until her death and afterward until the children were grown.
When Henry Dillingham married, Aunt Caroline lived with him up to a few months ago, when she went to visit her son at Clarinda, Iowa.
The Oldham and Dillingham families at Platte City did not hear of her death until it was too late to attend the funeral.
By a long life of faithful service to those she loved “Aunt Caroline” has now received her reward in her Master's home in heaven.Date(s) of Creation
