William Frank Beard was the husband of Mary Ester Teel Ritter Beard. They were married in 1882, I believe. Frank and Mary met in MO. Mary was a young widow and the mother of a very young son John A. Ritter (buried in this cemetery). Frank and Mary's union added these children: Rob, Earl, Frank Jr, Ada, Ott, and Goldie Beard. John was two when his widowed mom married Frank Beard. John and his siblings were very close for their entire lives.
Frank, Mary, and John moved to Oklahoma during the Cherokee Strip Land claim. William and Mary Esther and the Beard children claim land on one side of the road and John Albert Ritter, the only child old enough to claim land - claim land across the street from his parents - Alfalfa County, near Byron, Oklahoma.
