Mary (Johnson) Ireton's race on the 1900 census is shown as being "Mixed Blood: 1/2 Choctaw" with her father as "White" and her mother as "Choctaw". She's shown as being a Citizen by birth with 1860 as the year. Various writings about Mary say she had "10 children" but looking at the children in her home in 1900, her children not living with her in 1900, the one child which died before 1900 and the two boys born after 1900, you can see that Mary actually had 12 children in all born to her. The previously unidentified child was found to be Mary Ireton (1884-1884).

Alex Tribune - January 31, 1908 -- Death of Mrs. JOHN IRETON -- "Was One of the First Settlers of this Country and Loved by all Who Knew Her -- Funeral Was Held Last Wednesday". Last Monday evening at 6:3 o'clock, Mrs. John Ireton, an aged lady and a pioneer of this country, passed away at her home 1 1-2 miles north of this little city, at the age of 48 years, 1 month and 2 days old. Mrs. Ireton was born in Stonewall county, Choctaw Nation, December 25, 1860, and was married to John Ireton in 1878, at the age of 16. There were 12 children born to this union, 8 boys and 4 girls, nine of which are living and three children, two girls and one boy now in the better land to receive their faithful Christian mother. Mrs. Ireton was a member of the Catholic church, for many years. Impressive funeral services were held at the home by Rev. Haecker of Chickasha, at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, after which all that was mortal of this grand, old mother was tenderly conveyed to their private grave yard, where by the side of a devoted husband she now rests in peace. Pneumonia is said to be the cause of her death. Mrs. Ireton was an everyday Christian. The beautifying influence of a pure religion were spread over a life and character as spotless and charming as was ever possessed by any of the noble women who have lived and died during the ages that are gone. As such a life was a blessing and benefaction to all within the sphere of its influence so is the death of such a one a public misfortune, as well as an irreparable loss to the home circle made desolate by her departure. It is difficult to pay a fitting tribute to the memory of so noble a woman, one whose everyday life was embellished by the most charming and lovable attributes of her sex. A perfect lady at all times -- under all circumstances, she seemed born to inspire the love and respect of all who were so fortunate as to be acquainted with her. No one was more willing to aid the suffering, cheer the desponding, sustain the weak and to throw over the frailties of our race the mantle of Christian charity, and when sickness and death came to her, as it comes to all, neighbors and friends vied with each other in acts of loving kindness and tender solicitude, and many were the willing hands and hearts ready to assist him upon whom rested the heavy responsibility of attempting to fight back the ravages of disease -0 to avert the inevitable -- and in whom were united the devotion of a friend, the untiring skill and watchful care of the conscientious, painstaking physician, but love and skill were equally of no avail. The great destroyer had placed his signet on her brow and today, hundreds who loved her living, mourn her dead. In the presence of such a sorrow, how cold and impotent are words and how doubly deep would be the grief over the grave did not the rainbow of Christian hope span the dark gulf between time and eternity, and such pure bright lives inspire the belief that there is a better world beyond, where, filled from the corroding cares of earth, the good and true are reunited "after life's fitful fever" as the years go by it will remind them of the Christian hope and trust, and tell them of "a peace that passed human understanding." Life will never be quite the same to those who knew her, while those who were nearest her will long for her with unutterable longings long for a mother's counsel and advice. She was a woman of strong Christian character; patient, loving and self-sacrificing. So this life has passed into the joy of her Lord, the memory of her life must prove a perpetual inspiration."

Alex Tribune May 28, 1909 – D. R. Ireton erected a handsome monument over his parents grave. It is made of the finest Italian marble and stands fourteen feet high."
