My adoptive mother was Cleo Mary Critchfield Rudkin, born in Wellston Oklahoma March 1, 1907. Married in Oklahoma City in 1928 to Peter Dare Rudkin born December 14, 1896 in Superior Iowa. My Mother's parents were Edward Leroy Critchfield, born in Russell Co., Kansas, @1878 married to Mary Finley born near Marais de Cygne, Kansas @ 1881. Edward was born of Angeline Catherine O'Keeffe (unmarried, father was rumored to be a Canadian, Phelan). Edward was later adopted by a local farmer Joshua Critchfield after marrying Angeline. Joshua was a widower with several children: Percy, Ira, Guy, Edith,Myrtle, Ida Ruth, Arthur Hiram, Esther and Archie Bruce.(Those are the only names I can remember: there were about 12 or 13.)
