      This is from the oldest child: Juanita Oldham Campbell Pacey
      History Of My Mother, by Juanita Pacey

      ELLA WALTER OLDHAM CAMPBELL, daughter of William Thomas and Fleta Mae Weatherman Walter, was born 7 March 1899 in Harrah, Indian Territory, Oklahoma. She always said she was born in Oklahoma City, on the farm her grandfather staked claim for during the run for land in the unassigned lands of Oklahoma in 1889. This farm was sold according to the land records in 1890, and her grandfather bought a farm near Harrah, Oklahoma where she was born in 1899, in Indian Territory. She was next to the oldest of ten children. She attended Sunnyside school at Witcher, Oklahoma through the seventh grade. In 1912 the family moved to Fort Cobb where she knew such Indians as Quana Parker.

      The family soon moved to Apache, Oklahoma where my mother was graduated from the eighth grade. She found employment as the telephone operator of Apache.

      She met Ralph Vernon Oldham from Stecker, Oklahoma and they were married 29 January 1916. They made their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma where I was born 11 December 1916. They moved to Sapulpa, Oklahoma, where my sister LaVeta Fern was born 7 October 1918. Soon after the birth of my sister, my mother divorced my father and moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

      She worked as a comptometor operator for American Railway Express Company in Oklahoma City, where she contracted Tuberculosis. She spent six months in a sanitarium in Clinton, Oklahoma and was released.

      In 1922 she married James Douglas Campbell, but was ill again and entered another tuberculosis sanitarium for fourteen months. Upon her second marriage the authorities who were keeping her children released them to her.Still living in Oklahoma City she resumed her duties as housewife in 1923.

      In 1927 the family moved to Seminole and then to Earlsboro during the oil boom. They moved back to Oklahoma City when oil was discovered there.

      In 1943 they moved to San Diego, California, but moved back to Oklahoma City in 1944, where they lived until they died. Douglas Campbell died in 1967 and Ella died 14 February 1979.

      She called herself "Rose Ella". The family bible was lost in 1899. Oklahoma was a "Territory" and there were no records of deaths or births kept until statehood. During World War II she filed for a delayed birth certificate and I think she added the name "Rose" at that time. She lived to be almost 80 years old lacking three weeks. She died of a stroke and is buried in the Resthaven Cemetery, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

      Note from Juanita Pacey: *Witcher is now in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma.
