     Mary and William appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Sumner Twp., Phillips Co., Kansas G, enumerated 28 Jun 1900, reporting that the family owned its farm on government land. Their children Ida, John, Alice, Frank, Leta, James, and Iva were listed as living with them, as was Leonard W. Cottrill, a 23-year-old farm laborer.¹⁶

     Not surprisingly, there is evidence that her husband's incarceration created hardship on Mary's family. Her youngest son, James, who was 13 at the time, returned to Kansas, where his older brother had stayed, and he was working on a farm there by 1918. His twin sister, Iva, received her mother's permission to marry at age 15, in 1913. And apparently her eldest daughter's husband had taken over the family farm, and Mary was living with then by 1920. Mary appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Hazelwood Twp., Webster Co., Missouri G, in the household of William Meek Hoggatt, her son-in-law, and his two children, apparently on the farm her husband had owned.²⁰

     Where Alice and Jesse were living after their marriage is unclear. Each was living in Missouri in 1910, but they both reported they were living in Wister, OklahomaG, when they married. How they came to be living there is a mystery, though it seems possible she was anxious to escape the disruption caused by her father's incarceration six months before. Where they lived afterwards is equally unclear. Various records show their four earliest children as born in Missouri, Texas, and in Oklahoma.^15,16,17 One of the more credible record shows their second son, born in Jan 1917, as born in Hartshorne, OklahomaG, some 50 miles west of Wister. However Jesse, at least was clearly back in Missouri by June of that year.^18,19
     Alice and Jesse appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Mountain Grove, Wright Co., Missouri G, enumerated 7 Jan 1920, reporting that they owned their home, which was mortgaged. Their children Everett, Lester, and Opal were listed as living with them.²⁰

     Alice and Jesse moved with their children to TexasG by 1929.

The animal trampled and chewed him, causing grave injuries. He suffered for several days before his death.¹⁵
     Frank died from his injuries on 1 Jun 1905 in Phillips Co., KansasG, at age 12.^7,8,9 He was buried on 7 Jun 1905 in Dubois Cemetery, Crystal Twp., Phillips Co., KansasG.¹⁰

Leta E. Reigle was born on 23 Aug 1895 in KansasG.^4,5,6
      The earliest record found for her, the 1900 census, shows her name as Yletta. That may have been her name given at birth, but all other records show her first name as Lettie or Leta.¹⁶
     She appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Sumner Twp., Phillips Co., Kansas, G in the household of her parents, William David Riegel and Mary J. Quakenbush.¹⁷
     She moved to MissouriG with her parents.^18,19 She appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Hazelwood Twp., Webster Co., Missouri G, in the household of her parents.²⁰

     Leta and Clyde were apparently divorced by 1950, as he appeared in the 1950 census with another woman listed as his wife. No record of a divorce, or of his remarriage, have been found. Her obituary lists him as her husband and his sister as her sister-in-law, and shows the sister's address as the "family home" even though Leta was listed as living elsewhere. But she is listed as widowed in the 1950 census, which is not uncommon for divorced people.^10,11,12
     Leta appeared on the 1950 Federal Census of Oakland, Alameda Co., California, at 651 63rd G, enumerated 5 Apr 1950, reporting she lived in a home that was not on a farm.²⁸

James registered for the draft for World War I on 12 Sep 1918, while living at Neponee, Franklin Co., NebraskaG, reporting he was employed as farm laborer for Albert Schluntz at the same place.¹
     James seems to have adopted the spelling Reigles between 1920 and 1930, perhaps after he joined his brother John who was using that spelling.^18,19
     James appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Mullally Twp., Harlin Co., Nebraska G, enumerated 20 Jan 1920, in the household of Albert Schultz, his wife, and two children, as a hired hand on their farm.²⁰
