#OTD 16 April 1890, Archie Franklin Maddox was born to Al Maddox and Lizzie Lake in Kingman County, Kansas. He was the youngest child, with four older sisters, including my great-grandmother. No family stories were shared about how he was treated by his sisters, leading me to suspect that the girls were not very kind to their little brother. The family moved to their Oklahoma homestead after the 1893 land rush. Archie became a farmer and married Glenn Vesta Purvines. They had 10 children before deciding to live at opposite ends of their house.
