Notes
a. Note:   Henry and Alfred left their mother, Melinda, at their home in Vernon County, MO, in the spring of 1876. Their goal was to go to the Colorado gold fields. In route, they stopped off in Stafford County, KS. There Alfred met Margaret Jane (Gibson) McKinney, a young widow with a five year old son, Charles. They promptly got married (at Great Bend, KS). Henry headed on to the Colorado gold fields and was never heard from, thereafter. The next spring of 1877, the young couple loaded up a covered wagon and traveled back to Vernon County, MO. On April 29th, 1877, Hiram was born on his grandmothers farm. When Hiram was three months old, Alfred and Margaret loaded up the wagon and headed back to KS. Just outside old Ft. Scott, KS, the wagon dropped into a hole in the trail and Hiram was thrown out of Margaret's arms, and the wagon ran over Hirams' left arm, crushing it. In nearby Ft. Scott, an old ex-army doctor cut off Hirams left arm. During the days of the Civil War, and for years after, surgeons would cut off a damaged limb with no thought of trying to save it.
