Father Joseph met Fannie (b Nov 22 1855 in Barton MD) in Barton, MD. The first child Cora May was born July 26 1874 The second child was born Jan 19, 1877 in Barton MD named William Joseph.

In 1878 Joseph came west seeking a new location, first to Ohio then on to Bevier, MO with him was a Mr. Gibby of Barton. The 2 went to Kansas and took up a home stead in Western Kansas. They returned to Bevier and worked in a coal mine. In 1879, Fannie and 2 children came to Bevier and from there the family set out in a covered wagon to establish a new home on the homestead.

The sod house, stories of rattlesnakes, Kansas sand and wind was too much so after 3 weeks of camping in the wagon, they came back to Bevier and settle with other new comers (Bevier was mostly a Welsh Colony at that time.)

On their way to Kansas their wagons bore the slogan “To Kansas or Bust” As they go further west, they net east bound wagons bearing the slogan “In Kansas, We Busted”.

They came back to Bevier, in 1880 they moved to a rented farm near Bevier, in Bevier township (2 mi. from Bevier) In this year the 3rd child Lillian Edith was born Dec 26. 1880. She died in 1881 OK at milking time sitting in the middle of the bed. died before midnight of a spasm. Kate was born here in July 1882. In Oct 1882 bought a farm with very little money 80 acres near Bloomington in Liberty township 6 mi. north west of Macon. This place was home until father Joseph’s death Aug 14 1930. Nellie, George R & Theresa were born here.
