    • While living in Wild Cherry, Martha was a farmer and a midwife. She delivered many babies when there was no doctor around. She and Richard moved to Pitcher, Oklahoma in 1916, after their 2nd child, Bud, was born, where Richard worked in the cole mines until 1919, when they moved back to Arkansas before their 3rd child, Mary Ann was born

      After Richards death, Martha moved to Wild Cherry, AR. and lived there until she moved to Black Rock in 1945 to live with her daughter Viola.
