Robert William went to College at Warrensburg 'Teachers' College (MO). By 1910 he was known as "professor" in Coalgate, OK where he began teaching. The Coal County Register newspaper reported he went to MO and returned with his bride, Lottie Lea Wallace (b. 6/14/1891, at or near Amoret, Bates, Co.), who he married in McAlester, OK 1/29/1910. Of his seven siblings I have met only one, Olive, in the late 1930's. She was married to a Dr. Robinson, (G. Wilse, I believe) who practiced in KC. Also, she dealt in antiques, ?dolls?.

Printed evidentally in the Kansas City Genealogist Let me tell you what it says, and then does anyone know where I can get the complete listings of the WestPoint Cemetery, Bates Co. Mo. the cemetery is enclosed with a wire fence. The weeds are moved only twice a year. The graves and stones could have more careful supervision. There seems to be no regular paid keeper. There is (1950) a secretary, Mrs. Mabel Harris, Amsterdam, Mo, who would like help. West Point Cemetery has been plotted with every stone numbered and every legible identifying inscription copied by Mrs. Bayard Curnutte, Amsterdam, Mo, Nov. 1950-1965.
