Loudene,
Mom was born April 24,1911 in Portageville
Mo, Dimple Irene Corgan . Her father John
Samuel Corgan/Her Mother.,Carrie Lee Nicklas/
Nicholas,..we're unsure of the spelling.
Grandpa John died before Mom was born. He
told Grandma that if she had a girl that he
wanted her to be named Dimple Irene. We're
trying to find out Grandma Carrie's mother's
maiden name. I believe my g grandfathers
name was Robert Nicklas.His wife Mollie ?
We were told by my Aunt Katherine(Mom's
sister) that g grandfather & g grandmother
Nicklas were put out for indentured service
in Oklahoma. They werer treated very badly
and ran away from the home to Mo. where they
married. Mollie may have been orphaned. I
think it would probably be on either their
marraige or death certificate. g grandfather
Robert Nicklas had a brother Named Charlie.
You might look into Ruddles Fort info.
This was a fight at Ruddles Fort with the
Indians. I found an account that listed some
of the Ruddles. One of the children their
was Etta. Am researching futher to see dates
and such. Look forward to hearing from you .
Laura
