Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington. Seattle, Lowman and
Hanford Co., 1922. p. 61.

R. P. OLDHAM is one of the firm of Bausman, Oldham, Bullitt & Eggerman, os
Seattle, and a lawyer whose success in practice has been all that any man
could desire.  Mr. Oldham is a native of Ohio, and was born in 1877.  His
early educational training was had in the public schools.  From the University
of Cincinnati he took his A. B. degree in 1898, and three years later
graduated with the LL. B. degree from Harvard.  The same year Mr. Oldham
located in Seattle and was admitted to the bar.  Five years later he became
associated with the law firm of Bausman & Kelleher, and in 1912 became a
member of the firm of Bausman, Kelleher, Oldham & Goodale, which continued
until 1919 when the firm of Bausman, Oldham, Bullitt & Eggerman was formed.
Since engaging in practice in Seattle, Mr. Oldham has met with splendid
success, he confining his work to civil cases altogether.  I have seen him in
court a number of times. He belongs to that school of attorneys who never
permit themselves to become "ruffled", but who are, at all times, calm and
dignigied and in through accord with the majesty of the law.  I do not believe
there is a better capacitated attorney in the Northwest, nor one of more
logical conclusions.  Nor is there one who more enjoys the confidence of the
courts.  In 1902, Mr. Oldham married Miss Mary Belle Strickland, and there
are three children of this union.  Mrs. Oldham passed away January 22, 1922.
Mr. Oldham is a member of the University club and the County, state and
national bar associations.
