Notes
272. Richard (Richmond) M. RUBOTTOM
Occupation: Lawyer
Frank taught school in Wayne County, Missouri and never married.
Note: Richard's first wife, Jennetta, died of tuberculosis. When his second wife, Lizzie, developed TB, he decided to move the family to Texas, hoping the climate would help. It apparently did. Note:
Virginia Rubottom Skinner, a granddaughter of Richard M. Rubottom, relayed the following information: Mary Elizabeth Rubottom, the daughter of Richard M. Rubottom by his second wife Lizzie, told me what she remembered when Granddad (Richard M. Rubottom) lost the family farm. They were living in Texas and he got word that the county (or state) was seizing property for back taxes. Granddad took a train back to Missouri, but before he got there he became very ill and was taken off the train unconcious. He awoke in the hospital and it was too late to save the farm. From the description, it appears his farm was the original farm, or part of it, acquired by Ezekiel Rubottom. My Dad (Simon Terrell Rubottom) told me so many stories about the farm and the area that I have always wanted to see it. "I am pleased that it is a part of the Sam Baker State Park."
