Maudie Mae McCune, one of five children born to Henry Patrick and Altha Elizabeth Addington McCune. She was born in Indian Territory (OK), and died after 6 Jun 1900 in Dallas, Dallas, Texas.
After the death of her mother in 1897, her half-brother Robert A. "Bob" White, single and 22 years old, left Ft. Sill in a covered wagon and took his McCune siblings with him to homestead in Washita County.
After about two years of hardships, and because of difficulty raising small children, Bob thought the children would be better cared for in an orphans home. In March of 1899, he took the three younger children to Buckner Orphans Home in Dallas, Texas. Her older sister Birdie Lou, remained with a neighbor. It is unknown (to me) if her older brother stayed with Birdie and the neighbor. Thankfully, Bob never knew of little Maudie's death.
On his way back from Dallas to the farm, in what is now Port, OK, Bob worked at Marietta, Indian Territory, for a few months, where he became ill, and died in the fall of 1899, of what was described later as "Slow or Typhiod Fever". His death is recorded as 29 Oct 1899.

There is no mention of Maud after 6 June 1900. She likely is buried in an unmarked grave at one of the previous cemeteries of Buckner Orphans Home, now represented as Buckner Memorial Park, although there are now no grave markers. There are no further records for Maud "Maudie Mae" McCune that I can find. Some genealogy researchers indicate she died 5 Aug 1900 at Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.
