Social Security Death Index shows the following:

I hope this is your Robert Murdock.You can order his Social Security application and get his parents' names.
There was an Ethel M. Loe age 21, born in Oklahoma, single, living with Rachel J. Loe, age 56, born in Pennsylvania, widow, in Cherokee Township, Montgomery County, Kansas, according to the 1920 census.Series: T625Roll: 541Page: 63B
If this is your Ethel, then your marriage date just might be wrong.

In this 1910 census, the head of the household was David B. Loe, age 70, born in Ohio, his 3rd marriage, married to Rachel J for 30 years.Ethel's age is 11.
I think I found your Bruce in the 1900 census!!!Not too far from the Loe family - 3 or 4 doors down

Has the same people but also shows an older daughter,Mary (Lee?) age 22 born in Iowaand Minnie is also shown as a servant in the Duncan household in Parker TownshipSeries: T623Roll: 491Page: 25B
In the 1900 census, I think Mary was listed as a servant for the McNault family, age 11, June 1888, IowaScotlandScotland

The only Murdock from this family that I could find in the 1920 census was Aleck.I am sure it is an indexing error or a misspelling.Aleck is listed in
