  The Buffalo News May 31, 2002 Edith H. Oberg, 86, who lived in the Village of Hamburg for more than 50 years, died May 22, 2002, in Phoenix after a brief illness. She had been under Hospice care. Born Edith Haskell in Buffalo, she graduated from Orchard Park High School in 1933. She moved to Phoenix from Hamburg in December 1999. Mrs. Oberg and her late husband, Lawrence C., built one of the first houses on George Street, where they raised two children. He died in 1983. They had been married 46 years. She and her husband enjoyed dancing and often won waltz contests, family members recalled. They also enjoyed traveling to such destinations as Hawaii and Europe. Before her retirement, Mrs. Oberg worked as a production control clerk for McDonald Products in South Buffalo. Mrs. Oberg was a Cub Scout den mother and Girl Scout leader. In the early 1960s, she and her husband were members of the committee that organized the sesquicentennial celebration for the Village of Hamburg, and she continued to take an interest in the Historical Society for many years. She was a member of the Centennial Art Society in Hamburg, where she honed her technique in watercolor and pastel painting. She also was a member of the Cloverbank Home Bureau, where she taught and participated in craft classes. Her quilts won many ribbons at the Erie County Fair. Mrs. Oberg was a member of Hamburg Presbyterian Church, where she taught Sunday school, worked on the rummage sale, cooked suppers and served on various committees, including the Board of Deacons. In recent years, she was a "table mom," presiding over a table of youngsters attending dinners before Wednesday evening worship services. In Phoenix, she was a member of Esperanza Lutheran Church and attended weekly Bible studies at Foothills Baptist Church. Survivors include a son, David of La Grange, Ky.; a daughter, Elizabeth O. Farquhar of Phoenix; a brother, Harry Haskell of Hamburg; a sister, Elizabeth Barry of Richmond, Va.; and several grandchildren.
