Obituary - Absalom Oldershaw, the oldest resident of Sag Harbor, died Sunday at his home on Noyack Road, aged 96 years. He was a native of England and in early life a sailor, corning to Sag Harbor at the time of the whaling prosperity in the fifties. He made a number of deep-sea voyages. When President Lincoln called for volunteers Oldershaw was one of the first to go to the front. He served with honor and was wounded so badly that he was lamed for life. Mr. Oldershaw was a very active man up to the time of his last illness, and gained a livelihood as a gardener.
