Son of Abraham Hunsaker and Mary Luckham

Oakham, the seventh child of Mary Luckham and Abraham Hunsaker, was born on 15 December 1879 in Honeyville. Mary
Luckham died when Oak was only two years old, and like the other younger children of the family, he was raised by his sisters, Susannah and Martha, and by others of Abraham's wives.

He lived with Martha and George Harper for more than 30 years. Once, while herding sheep on Monte Cristo, Oakham was struck by lightning. His dog, standing at his side, was killed, but Oak was only stunned. Somehow, in a dazed condition, he got on his horse which took him to a camp.

Oak never fully recovered from the effects of this incident. Later, an abscess formed on his lungs, and although he was operated on for this, he was never very well afterwards.

Oak spent the last few years of his life in a hospital, where he passed away 20 January 1947. He was buried in the Honeyville Cemetery.
