Hi Christy,
I am not related, but I think I found your Viola Reeder.
Her father was James Elbert Reeder b. 1864 Benton County Missouri to Joseph Reeder b. 1836 MO and Rebecca Duckworth b. 1841 MO.
He married Ida J. Dawson about 1889 in Benton Co. MO. They had Viola May b. 1890 and Joseph Elmer . 1892.
Then I found this:
"James E and Ida Dawson Reeder had 2 children--Viola and Joseph Elmer, (Father of Mrs R. E. Hawkins of Novato,CA).
When the boy was about a year and a half old the mother disappeared never to be heard from again. Viola was raised by a Mr and Mrs Tipton. The boy was left with Malinda Jane Guertner Walker. "
This information from Mrs R. E. Hawkins, of Novato, CA.
So I went searching and found the 1900 Censusshowing her as adopted daughter of William Tipton. If you will send me your e-mail I will send you a copy as an attachment.
James E. , on June 5, 1899 married Sarelda Buckley. He died May 16, 1900 and is buried Mossy Cemetery, Benton Co., MO
I found Census Records for Oscar & Viola for 1910,1920,& 1930 if you want them.
