Part I - Hezekiah Lamb and Hannah Small
Family Group "M"

Mary Angeline Lamb
and
James Judkins Shriver

Mary Angeline Lamb, daughter of Hezekiah Lamb and Hannah Small, was born after June in 1857, in Dallas County, Iowa. She was married 30 November 1879, Riverton, Iowa, to James Judkins Shriver, who was born in 1848, in Guernsey, Ohio, the son of Adam Shriver and his wife Martha Judkins. (See: Part I Shriver Family)

When Angie and James were first married they farmed near Todd Creek, Johnson County, Nebraska, according to the 1880 Census, with yet no children. The 1890 Census is missing.

They went to the Oklahoma Indian Territory, to find better circumstances. James Judkins Shriver hauled freight for the U.S. Government in the Oklahoma Indian Territory.

Hannah kept a letter written by James, during his struggles. The date is not clear, but would have to be before Angie died in 1894. She was approximately 37 years old, and was buried in the Spring Grove Cemetery, in Anthony, Kansas. This may be because James was still unsettled, and Angie’s sister, Naomi, offered the space in their own family plot.

Anthony is near the Oklahoma border, and not far from where James was. James lived with his son Adam Hale and family on Chestnut St., in Ponca City, Oklahoma for a short time before his death on 3 April 1921, in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. James was buried beside Angie.

Adam Hale Shriver, son of Mary Angeline Lamb and James Judkins Shriver, was born 20 August 1881, Tecumseh, Nebraska.

The 1900 Oklahoma Census, Osage Reservation, showing Hale Shriver working on the farm of what looks like a Joseph Hughes.  This Joseph was born in Michigan but owned a farm on the Indian Reservation.  It could be this is the teacher that took Adam under his wing. 

Shriver family history has told the story of Adam Hale Shriver, as a young adult, working on the farm of a schoolteacher, who taught school on the Osage Nation Reservation.  This school-teacher took Adam under his wing and gave him his high school education.  After leaving the farm, Adam continued his education and received his four-year college degree.  This education gave Adam the needed tools to start his own Insurance and Real Estate business in Ponca City, Oklahoma. 

He was married at the age of 29, 28 June 1911, in Belle Plaine, Kansas to Margaret Mae Burgess, (SS#444-36-3987) who was born 25 September 1887, Belle Plaine, Kansas.

Hale moved his family to Ponca City in 1917. On the 1930 Census, the value of his home in Ponca City, Kay County, Oklahoma, was $10,000, and they had a radio. Margaret died April 1965.
