My Greatgrandpa, Francis was always known as a good man and unfortunately suffered great sorrow in his life. He was born in PeeDee Missouri, grew up in Chariton county to a young man.
Took as his first wife, Mary E Richardson of Randolph county and had 2 children with her. Mary unfortunately died from a fall, attempting to light the ceiling gas light.
Her children then went to live with their grandparents Richardson in Vinita Oklahoma, while their father was incarcerated.
In 1897 he was pardoned from the Missouri state governor.
Francis had then married long time friend and widower Luella McCollum Cook in between time spent in Keytesville jail and Jefferson City prison (A Hall) and they had 4 children, one of them, Opal, my grandmother.
Francis worked for the Wabash R.R. as a breakman, before and after Mary's death and when married to Louella. He continued to live in Missouri till his death...
