There is a marriage record of Anson Eccleston to Minerva Griffith, a widow and mother of 12, in May 1902, Vernon MO.

1910 Crawford KS: ECCLESTON Anson is a prisoner in Kansas, "single". He has divorced or separated from his 2nd wife, who by 1910 took back her surname from first marriage "Griffith" and living in Vernon Mo. as "widow".

In 1910, dau Pearl Eccleston/11/cousin is in Iola, Allen KS household of William and Julie Murray. Son David H. Bunch/21/S lives alone, farming, Osage, Henry MO. Searching for Lydia's sons, Charles and Earl John Eccleston in 1910 census.

Lydia is shown as "Frankie" Walker on social security card application for son Charles Eccleston:

Name: Frankie Walker
Gender: Female
Spouse: Anson Eccleston
Child: Charles Lucas Eccleston

Note: Per 1900 census, Lydia had a 5th unknown child, b/d between 1882 and 1900. Based on spacing, it may have been a "Bunch" baby born between Fannie (1883) and David (1888) Bunch. It would seem the child would have been buried in Landaker cemetery; if so there is no record or marker as either Bunch or Eccleston.

Alert: St. Clair on-line records indicate there is an obituary for Mrs. Henry Bunch who died May 9, 1889. It was actually her husband, Henry Bunch, who died that date:

Surname Bunch
Death Date 9 May 1889
Death Place St. Clair
Burial: Landaker Cemetery

Early St. Clair birth records show a child named Fannie Belle born to Henry M. Bunch and Lidia Francis Walker. No dates.
