Will Earp, Mary F. Wright Earp and Family 1891-92

This photo is a real treasure and one that I had never seen until recently. It was taken in 1891 or 1892. I don't know if was taken in Nebraska before the Will Earp family left for Oklahoma or if it was taken after their arrival in Oklahoma Territory. If anyone knows where it was taken, please let me know.

The Will Earp Family in 1891-92. Left to right: Vernie born 1889, Wm A. born 1856,
                      Ina Elizabeth born 1887, Coy Jane born 1884, Otto George born 1886, Mary F.
Wright born 1862 and Martin Earle born 1890.

By the fall of 1891 Will Earp, Mary Frances Wright Earp and their children had settled at Guthrie, OK Territory for the winter. There a child was born who did not survive.

In January of 1892, Will traded a wagon, a team of mules and harness for a claim of 160 acres of land located in N. Keokuk Twp., northwest of Stroud, Oklahoma Territory. Hugh Earnest, born 1893, was the first of the Earp children born on the new claim. Hannah Ona came in 1896, Ara Viola followed in 1898, Oba Asa in 1900, John Luther in 1902 and Claud Russell in 1904.

Note the picture of the entire family that is posted on the beginning page of this blog.
