173. Lucy Anna ACKLEY⁴ was born on 24 May 1864 in Cameron, Marshall , West Virginia.^4,14,93,232 LDS lists as of Greene Co., PA She appeared in the census in 1870 in Kansas. She died in Feb 1888 in Catoosa, Indian Teritory, Oklahoma.⁴ later to become Tulsa, OK She was ill with Typhoid Fever in 1888 in Catoosa, Indian Teritory, Oklahoma.⁴ The following is a quote from Lois Childers:
"Lucy died in 1888 at Catoosa at the home of Abe, (I believe it was Abe's without checking back). Anyway, at that time she had taken the baby, Sara Anna and left (separated) from Richard Childers. Why she left Sam with his father we don't know. Ida Ackley McCollom told me all this.
Ida said she died of consumption while in Catoosa with whatever relative it was. The baby Sara Ann died there too. knowing she had consumption and getting weaker all the time she probably took the baby knowing Richard couldn't take care of her, leaving Sam because he could take care of him, she left and went to her family because she knew she would not live long and knew that she would need someone to help care for her and the baby. Richard Childers and Sam Sr. came to Pryor and lived with the Indians for awhile.
Early in 1891 Richard and Sam went to Pryor Creek to see the Ackleys.
Sam Sr. said they waded a creek (probably Pryor Creek), Richard carrying
Sam on his shoulders. Richard got wet, took sick and died. (this came from
Eva Baker Childers, wife of Sam Sr.) Ida Ackley McCollom said that Richard
Childers and Henry Wilson Ackley both died of typhoid in 1891."
