Thomas Oakley

Thomas Oakley is a wealthy man. As owner of Oakley Mining Incorporated, a prosperous Junction City-based concern, Oakley has the type of money of which most men can only dream. All of this meant nothing when a carriage accident took his beloved wife Linda from him. The only person more affected by Linda's sudden departure from this earth was Thomas and Linda's 22-year-old son Lawrence.
Lawrence was devoted to his mother, and her death broke something inside him. Grief stricken, he left his job running one of his father's mines and disappeared. Even with Thomas Oakley's extensive resources, it took him months to follow his son's trail. Finally, news reached him that his son had joined a religious community, the Church of the Holy Giver.
Overjoyed to find that Lawrence was safe, Thomas sent first one letter, then another, and yet another with no reply. The fourth finally garnered a response, a terse letter from Lawrence, saying he now understood his mother's death had been punishment for his father's sins. Lawrence swore off contact with him. The Church of the Holy Giver had showed him the way, and he would not turn back from salvation.
