- Married Susan Muir. Lived Guthrie, OK, p. 362, DeWitt Co. Hist. 1891. A
typed condensed Bloomington, IL, newspaper clipping from Mrs. Geo. H. Arbogast
of Arrowsmith, IL, to Amanda Arbogast Forbes in 1940, tells of Susan and John's
living in Conway Springs, KS, participating in the Oklahoma land opening and
getting their 160 ac. on the Cottonwood River just across from Guthrie, OK.
They lived there for several years in a sod house, later a frame house, then
moved back to Farmer City, IL, in 1895 where John died a few years later.
She and John had an adopted son. The article mentions Susan later married G.
F. Mc Bride, whom she survived. It concludes with her plans of going with her
brother, John Muir, to visit with relatives in Oregon and California, and they
will also stop in Guthrie, OK, where she will call on friends.
Marriage record DeWitt Co., IL, 1 Mar 1876.
