INFO FROM JUDY ORRILL BRUDER: lists Mary's birth date as July 13, 1866 in Ashton, MO. Mollie came to Cowley County when (her child) Nina Wells was just a baby. She met Fredrick Thomas Orrill and they married. Supposedly Mollie was married to a man named Wells, but no marriage record has been found. Fred and Mary divorced and Fred left for CA right after their son Price married in Dec. 1918.
