Together they traveled the country in covered wagon with only camping equipment and some bedding. They settled in the Oklahoma Territory area. He began leasing land from the Osage Indians and farming in a small way the first two years. 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.
Robert was a farmer and Lizzie was a cook for a private family in the Hominy area.
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.
