Narrative

Children of John Reuben Rives and Della Rebecca Henry:

1. Eunice Gertrude Rives, b. May 1886, m. Fote White
2. Martha Inez Rives, b. Mar 1888
3. John Edward Rives, b. 28 July 1889
4. Elmore Rives, b. 23 Mar 1892
5. Jessie May Rives, b. Jan 1893, m. Charles Heneger
6. Anna Rives, b. 2 July 1895, m. Clarence Northcutt
7. Chester Rives, b. 26 July 1897, d. 6 Mar 1899

Chester is listed on the 1900 census so the dates for his headstone may be incorrect. However, the census does indicate one child of Della's had died, so it may be the case that they listed him anyway. He's buried in Old Johnsonville Cemetery, Johnsonville, McClain County, Oklahoma.
