He had three brothers and one sister: Barton, John, Charles and Estella. He married Ethel Dickson November 23, 1904 in Ida Grove. Richard and Ethel had a full, busy life, bought their home and lived on 2nd Street in Ida Grove for over 40 years. His WW1 draft registration card described him as having a medium build, of medium height with black hair and brown eyes. Richard and Ethel had six children, four surviving to adulthood. They are: Henry William, Helen Esther, Roy Elliott, Lois Valere, Leland S., and Fay Charlotte. Tragedy did strike the family when two of the youngest children, Leland, two years old, and Lois, seven years old, developed whooping cough. If that wasn't bad enough, in 1918, the Spanish flu ripped through Ida Grove like a tornado with many of the youngest residents and elderly devasted......with their weakened immune systems, Lois and Leland became extremely ill, and they succumbed to Spanish Influenza; Lois first, and her brother Leland less than one week later. ❈•≫────≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫────≪•❈ ❈•≫────≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫────≪•❈
