Thanks to Find A Grave members, Dennis & Linda (#47075245), for the following information on July 7, 2016.

"O.F. Pearson was Oliver Pearson. He married Annie Sparks in Washington County on 09 Dec 1883, (Washington County Marriage Book H, pg 85.)

In 1900 they appear in Burnham Township, Pawnee Co, Oklahoma. They show the following children; George O. Pearson 14; Lawrence B Pearson 13; Mollie E Pearson 12; and Nola G Pearson 1. All the children were born in Arkansas.

This indicates that the Pearsons moved to Oklahoma in late 1899 or early 1900. In addition, Annie's sister, Mattie E Sparks, was living with them. - dennis"
