Richard was shown in his father's household in the 1900 census (Jul 10 1900), Washita County, Oklahoma:6,15
In 1916 Richard served in the U.S. Army, Company K, 26th Infantry. He was honorably discharged three times: On Jun 6 1919 he was discharged and re-enlisted. On Jun 6 1920 he was discharged and re-enlisted. On Jan 10 1925 he was finally discharged.1
Richard served in the U.S. Armed Forces from Jun 8 1917 to Jun 6 1919.8 He was in the battle of Meuse-Argonne Forest, where he was wounded on Oct 5 1917, for which he received a purple heart and a silver cross with an oak leaf cluster. While this definitely would classify him as hero, he never talked about this or any other war experiences. In fact, his family did not know he had won such high honors until he died and his fellow VFW members located his war record and accorded him the 21 gun salute due him at his funeral.1
Richard was shown in the 1920 census (January 1920), Camp Zachary Taylor, Jefferson County, Kentucky:16
He married Dollie Holloway, Jun 7 1920, Clark County, Indiana.11,12,13,17 Dollie, daughter of George Holloway & Birdie Crither, was born Nov 17 1900, Arkansas.11,12,13

Richard and family were shown in the 1940 census (Apr 15 1940), Mississippi Township, Crittenden County, Arkansas:2
Irene became a renowned cook in her area. Not only could she make plain ordinary everyday fare that was as ambrosia, she could also make "fancy" food that was as lovely to look upon as it was tasty to eat. When Governor Cherry was in Imboden for a breakfast one time it only seemed natural that the city fathers would call upon Irene to make the biscuits for the governor's breakfast. It was always a pleasure for Irene to remember that the governor complimented her cooking and asked for a couple of biscuits to take with him. He then asked to be introduced to the cook and offered Irene a job as cook at the Governor's mansion anytime she wanted it.1
Irene was always the first to send food to the home of anyone ill or where there had been a death. This generosity of hers was attested to anew at her own death when the ladies of the town came day after day bearing food to feed her family and each lady had a tale of when Irene had brought food to her house in a time of need.1
Irene once ran for public office in the little town of Imboden, Arkansas. She only received a handful of votes. The next morning when she went to the post office to get her mail she was wearing a set of toy pistols strapped to her side. The postmaster asked her what in the world she was doing that for, and she replied, "Any one who has lived in a town this size and hasn't any more friends than the few who voted for me yesterday needs to wear protection".1
Richard was an electrician by trade, but also did some plumbing and mechanic work. He had very courtly manners and was well liked by those outside of the family, but he was an overbearing, and sometimes cruel, father and husband.1
