  General Notes:

"Joseph and Annie built a house in Bristol with a spring running under the kitchen. They had eight children, and all were born and raised in Bristol. After their children were grown, they left Bristol and went to Oklahoma where Joseph homesteaded. Annie was not happy in Oklahoma, so they moved to Morrisville, Missouri, and bought a 97-acre farm in 1911.

Annie was musical and played the violin. Both died in Morrisville and are buried in a family cemetery on their farm. They had four girls and four boys:"
