1.1a.1.1.5.6.10.1 Nellie Belle YOAKUM
Birth 21 Jan 1879

Nellie recalled living with her parents at White Rock on the old Ike Yoakum place, then in Clara, then nearby Bucyrus (where she met and married Frank Shryock). Around 1910 they moved to Willow Springs, Howell CO. MO.
As a baby, Nellie contracted diphtheria, her mother, at wits end, took the advice of a neighbor and split a red pepper lengthwise, filled each half with vinegar and carefully bound the halves to each side of her throat. Nellie said "It sounds like a fairy tale but the Diphtheria vanished completely...(I'm) the proof standing here before you today"!

Spouse Lola Bell Raper

Death 19 Aug 1964
Father William R. Raper
Mother Sarah Vianna 'Vi' Rustin (1859-1929)

Much has been relayed about Lola's mom and dad - most of it is heresy. Some say her father (William 'Bill' Raper) was of Cheyenne heritage and he left the kids with Lola's mom, Sarah Vianna 'Vi' Rustin, and moved out to Puget Sound, WA. Some say he came back at least twice to see the kids and Vi.
Lola married JT when she was 15 years old and JT was 19

Birth 10 May 1903
Death 21 Sep 1921
Death Memo Killed by train
Occ Bronco Buster

Glen was breaking wild horses (a bit of a horse whisperer they say) up in Wyoming for his Uncle John. On his way home, on September 21st, 1921 Glen and a companion were following the common practice of resting their heads on the train tracks waiting for the next freight. Usually, vibration from an approaching train would alert you long before it actually got near, but Glen fell asleep and didn't wake up in time. He was 18 years old.
