Altoona Mirror, October 23, 1961

Amber's name is incorrect in this obit, and also in the 1900 census, 
where she and Oscar are living with their grandparents, Joseph & Anna 
Elizabeth (Woomer) Woomer (indexed as Womer). Her maiden name was 
Lewis, and she was the daughter of John and Emma (Woomer) Lewis.
