Sometime during 1897, Richard decided to move his family from Taylor County, Kentucky, where he was residing on the Thomas Nelson (father-in-law) farm to Missouri where his father, Jackson, and his older brother William were living. According to my grandmother Lydia Tabb, they came on the train and settled in Aullvile, Missouri, a small settlement south of Higginsville, Missouri.

Richard and his family moved into a tenant house on the Hanley farm south of Aullvile, Missouri, and worked for Mr. Hanley. The children were enrolled in the local school and the family settled into their new environment. Later, Richard took a job in Higginsville, Missouri, working for Brandoff Coal Mine, which belonged to the Bonanza Coal Company. He was killed a short time later in a mining accident, when he was crushed by falling slate on Sunday, November 17, 1898, less than 18 months after his move from Kentucky.

Eventually, Mary remarried to an older man named Nathan White. Most of her children had married or left home by this time.
