Fifth Generation

85. Maude C. Hall (Louvina Callin-4, Hugh-3, James-2, James-1) was born on 18 Oct 1876 in Iowa, and grew up in Beatrice, Gage County, Nebraska.

Records indicate she married Richard H. Cunningham on 24 Sep 1894 in Lincoln, Lancaster, Nebraska, but they did not stay together. She married John D Black on 18 Jan 1898 in Beatrice, Gage, Nebraska, and he adopted her daughter from that first marriage. John was the son of Moses Black (1839–1878) and Lucy A Hardin (1841–1923), born on 21 Mar 1872 in Kansas. His father was a farmer who was killed in a cyclone near their farm in Doniphan, Wayne County, Kansas, in 1878.

The Black family lived in Shannon, Atchison County, Kansas until moving to Sni-A-Bar, near Odessa, Lafayette County, Missouri, after 1910. Maude’s brother came to live with them, and they resided in Lafayette County thereafter.

Maude died 10 Jan 1950 and was buried in Odessa Cemetery. John died on 23 Oct 1953 at age 81 and was buried there, also.
