Note 1
Oscar and Noda moved to Sedan, New Mexico between 1911-1917. Farmed land that bordered the Texas state line. Oscar had a second cousin, Bill Culbertson that ranched land in Texas that bordered Oscars. The story goes that Oscar's dogs attacked and killed 2 cows that belonged to Bill. Bill threatened to kill Oscar so Oscar fled to western Oklahoma. Noda and the two boys (Harvey and Marshall) followed later.
Oscar lost his right hand when his glove caught in the gears of a piece of farm equipment.
Oscar divorced Noda at the age of 60 and remarried to Hope Thurlow.
