A Brief History of the Atkins, Stewart, and Smith Families - New Page 1

1900
As noted above, the John Buly Hackler family and the George Oliver Hackler family were not
found in the 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1890 census data for unexplainable reasons. However, in
1900, we find the George Oliver Hackler family.
Here is the family as it appeared in 1900:

Note: The 1900 census is the only census that recorded the month and year of birth.
This family lived in a house at 410 Cherokee Ave in Enid, Garfield Co, Oklahoma Territory, in
1900. They shared this house (possible boarding house) with two other families. (Note:
Oklahoma did not become a state until 1907.)
George and Alice were married on 13 February 1880 in Franklin Co, MO.
As of 1900, Alice had given birth to 10 children of which 7 survived.
Two more children were born into this family between 1900 and 1910.
George was a day laborer and worked as a Mason Tender. This might explain why the 7 children
listed above were born in 4 different states. Perhaps they traveled to find work.
Alice’s full maiden name was Alice Missouri Reams according to a Public Member Tree on
ancestry.com. She was born on 24 April 1863 in Missouri and died on 25 January 1947
in California according to the trees.
1910
By 1910, the family had grown by two more children. They were still living in a rented home in
Enid, Garfield Co, Oklahoma:
