Married to Celestia Lutz on 6-23-1894 in Kirksville, Adair County, Missouri
father of: Glen Richard, Samuel Francis, Vinnie Violet, Harry Lee, Edith Blanche and Pauline Winifred
from Bud's obit
Where he sat and talked with me
There's just an empty chair
And the silence now at evening
Seems more than I can bear.
Though I knew that some day
There would be an empty chair
Yet I could never picture
Home without him there.
I never fully realized
How deeply one can care
Until I stood alone one night
Beside an empty chair.
Bud and Celestia came to Oklahoma from Missouri in 2 covered wagons. Bud fixed a stove in one of the wagons, and the trip took 6 weeks. They arrived south of Shattuck, OK on 12-20-1900 and built a dug-out. It was half underground and had 2 windows. Their neighbors, the Weidenkofers, came with them. Ed and Nettie Weidenkofer are also buried in this cemetery.
