George Washington Haldaman left his home near Murphysboro, Illinois at an early age. His mother Katie File died when he was 12, which caused a very large disruption in his family. George went to work as a cook on the railroads, and soon found himself in the Oklahoma land rush (1889), and though he did not homestead, he did make a home for himself and became a farmer near Kingfisher.  George met and married May, the oldest daughter of Marion Taylor and Molly Crum. When George and May were married in 1889 he was 30 and she was 19. Her sister and two brothers lived with them in Garfield County, Oklahoma. Their first child, Lloyd, was born in 1900. May died in 1941, on the day Pearl Harbor was bombed. Many of their children served in the Armed Forces during the War. George lived to be 97, he had continued to farm until the 1950s, when both he and Lloyd had legs amputated due to hazards of the farm. They moved to a small house in Hennessey. Although Wesley had a farm he ran part-time after that, and Wesleene married a farmer from Minnesota, the Haldaman farming days were done.

The Crum family of Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Oklahoma Marion Taylor Crum, 1856-1929, born in Scott, Indiana. Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" Underhill, 1853-1890, born in Ohio. Taylor and Mollie had 5 children (all born in Kansas?): Maggie Daisy May Crum, 1880-1941 (my grandmother) Walter Marion Crum, 1882-1951 Rosa Evelyn Crum, 1884- Wilfred Crum, Edward Harrison Crum, 1889-  Daisy May's folks were rumored to be related to the Dalton Brothers, and other Kansas outlaws of the time. There were also rumors of Indian relatives (Bear Claw) and other names like Hinthorne. I have found one Uncle who married an Indian woman, and they had many children. The Underhills in Pleasant Hill, Missouri were neighbors to a Hinthorne family, likely they married at some point. More research is needed. Thanks to a book written by Ferris Crum, the Crum family genealogy is well documented, at least back to John Crum, born 1760 in Rhineland, Germany. Along the way were people named Haymaker, Kedore, Oldhance and others who may not be so well documented. A John Wesley Crum married his cousin, also a Crum. In Germany the name would have been Krum. My Crums lived throughout the midwest, Indiana, Ohio, into Kansas They were farmers. The Underhills were also farmers, and only recently did I find a connection to her ancestors. They came to Kansas from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, ultimately Joseph from Tewkesbury, England, and Richard, born in 1542 in Tewkesbury. Housman, Oldham, Wright, and Barr were names along the way.

Margret Francis Haldaman (1866-1920), her obituary: IN LOVING MEMORY OF MISS MARGARET FRANCIS HALDAMAN DAUGHTER OF D.C.L. AND KATIE HALDAMAN. She was born May 9, 1866, in Pomona Township, Jackson County, Illinois. At the age of 15 she united with the Christian Church, near her home, later transferring her membership to the Presbyterian Church in Decatur, Illinois. She has always lived a consecrated Christian life. Her mother preceded her to her heavenly home in 1880. After which, Margaret worked her way through school, teaching and attending school until she graduated from the Southern Illinois Normal University in Carbondale in 1899. She taught in the public schools of Macon County, Illinois, for fifteen years. She was then employed in the Government Indian schools for six years, one year each at Vermillion Lake, Minnesota, Hayward, Wisconsin, Ft. Defiance, Arizona, and Ignacia, Colorado, and two years at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. It was while employed in these schools she saw and felt the great need of missionary work, and while awaiting the opening of a mission in California, she entered the Los Angeles Bible Institute, preparatory for the foreign field. She graduated from this institution in 1915. Overwork caused a nervous collapse from which she never fully recovered. A cancer developed, for which she received treatment by a specialist in Chicago for five months. She was placed in St. Andrew's Hospital, Murphysboro, Illinois, May 2, where she died at 4:45 P.M., Friday, June 25, 1920, aged 54 years, 1 month and 16 days. She leaves to mourn her death, her father, D.C.L. Haldaman, Jackson, Missouri' sister, Mrs. Mary Keith, Holt, Missouri' brothers J.L., Emporia Kansas, George W., Hennesy, Oklahoma, Frank, Gage, Oklahoma, D.W., Hennesy, Oklahoma, Arthur, Enid, Oklahoma; besides a host of relatives and friends. She was a niece of Mrs. Bettie C. Norton and Chrissy R. Haldaman, who were at her bedside at death. She was a MISSIONARY in every sense of the word, in the Public as well as the Government schools where she has taught... HER LAST POEM: If the Lord should come in the morning, As I go about my work; The little things, or quiet things, That a servant cannot shirk. Tho nobody ever sees them, And only the dear Lord cares; That they are done, in the light of the sun, Would He make me unawares? If the Lord should come at noonday, The time of dust and heat;When the glare is white and the air is still, And the hoof beats sound in the street. If my dear Lord came at evening, And smiled in my tired eyes, Would it not be sweet, His look to meet? Would He take me by surprise? Why do I ask; He is ever coming to me, Morning, noon and evening; If I had but eyes to see, And the daily load grows lighter. And daily cares grow sweet; For the Master is near; the Master is here, I have only to sit at his feet. --Margaret F. Haldaman.
