Bertha May RYAN was born one of twelve surviving children to parents, Robert Orson and Nancy Caroline DAVIS RYAN. Around 1900, the RYAN family moved west to Kansas and then settled in the northeast portion (Osage Co.) of Oklahoma Territory.

Bertha married Oscar Clarence "Jack" SPARLIN on 20 Mar 1906, Pawnee, OK. Their first son was Estal Earnest (1907-1998). Their second son, Oscar Orsen, died early (1911-1912). Bertha and Oscar Clarence were divorced in 1918.

24 Nov 1919, Bertha May married James Edward PAXTON in Newkirk, OK, and they resided in Ponca City, Kay, OK. James died in 1947. At Bertha May's death in 1976, she was survived by her son, five grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She lived long enough to know the birth of her first great-great-grandson.

Bertha May appears on the federal census records of 1900 (KS), 1910 (OK) and 1920 (OK).
