Effie
January 5, 1870, Bourbon Co., KS - April 13, 1950 Ft. Scott, Bourbon Co., KS
George and Effie Ann Henton were married in Bourbon Co., KS on October 8, 1886. They were the parents of Anna Pauline and George "Ray".
Effie was the daughter of George and Margaret M. Ralston Henton. Her father died close to a year and a half after she was born. Her mother then married James M. Nichols.
As young children Effie and her half brother "Everett" Nichols accompanied a wagon train to Oregon with their parents James M. and "Maggie" (Ralston) Henton Nichols. "Everett" and Effie walked all the way beside the wagon. One would assume their sister, Elzora walked with them.
