When he had made enough to get more stock and farming equipment he found more land and continued farming in the Osage country until a few years ago when he had to retire due to his decline in health. Robert died of Carcinoma of the liver and Diabetes Mellitis of thirteen years.
Both of these people were quiet, soft spoken individuals and well respected in the community.

Cause of Death: Carcinoma of Liver, Diabetes Mellitus x 13years

When I asked Mother about her grandfather, she told me he was a very quiet man and never spoke harsh of anyone.
