...In 1870, Amos was farming in Cedar County, Nebraska, and continued to farm there until 1874. Here he married Orpha Mae Pratt in March 1873 and their two sons, Willie Pratt and Frederick Elmer were born to them. In 1877, they were in the Black Hills of South Dakota and in 1880 they were back in Poweshiek County, Iowa. So as you can see, Amos liked to see new country. Orpha Mae was getting fed up with Amos's itchy feet and all that moving around, and filed for divorce in February 1888 claiming he was causing her a lot of emotional grief and accusing her of adultery with a man named Harland. Amos also accused her of adultery with his brother, William, and told the neighbors of this and causing her much disgrace. The divorce was granted. William and Orpha Mae must have caught the first train out of Montezuma, Iowa, because they were married in Cedar County on May 1, 1888. The farm was sold at a sheriff's sale the 23rd of June 1888. William and Orpha Mae did not stay in Nebraska, but later went to Jackson County, Oregon, where they adopted a little girl and later moved to California and settled. Orpha Mae's children grew up and Willie became a dentist, and Frederick stayed in Modoc County, California, and became a banker...
