  Notes	Rather than go to Kansas with his other siblings, Richard elected to go directly to Oklahoma Territory. He met and married Miss Rosa Lee Bunch in 1902 in Cordell, Wichita Co., OK. They lived for a short time in the town of Wildman. After several Indian attacks, Richard and Rosa and their baby boy moved on to Elk City, OK. Richard was a labourer and could do almost anything he set his mind to. He helped lay the brick streets in Elk City and Sayre. They moved to the Carnegie area, bought a farm north of town and lived there for 42 years. They also operated a saw mill and had a threshing machine which was also used to help their neighbors with crops. In the early 1960's, they decided to sell the farm and move into town as by this time Richard's eyes were bad, and running the farm was too much for both of them. Their grown children urged them to make this move. [1] As per the 1881 Ontario census, Richard was 7 years old, born ca 1874, which makes more sense than having been born a month after sibling George. Other records have birth year circa 1873.
