Bio
Mack and Burma were married on 15 October 1897, presumably in Texas. She was sixteen and he was in his early twenties. Burma was a native of East Texas and by 1897 had lived in that area all her life, mostly, it's believed, in Van Zandt County. Mack was born and raised in Mississippi. How he and Burma met is unknown. Their oldest child, Vonnie, once described her father as a "drifter," so the most likely scenario is that he wandered into the northeast Texas area, met Burma, they married, and she went back to Mississippi with him. However, they left that state sometime around 1900, more than likely 1901, and returned to East Texas, where they took up residence in Van Zandt County. With them was Vonnie. A second child had died in Mississippi. The remaining three children born to Mack and Burma were born in Texas. Mack and Burma divorced sometime between 1905 and 1907. Neither she nor anyone in her family ever saw Mack again. The 1910 Census places him in El Reno, Oklahoma, where he was a boarder in the home of Gracie Richardson. It's unknown if she and Mack were related. It's believed that Mack might also have lived in Chickasha at one time. Mack spent his final years near Minco, Oklahoma. From his obit in the June 1917 issue of the Minco Herald: "Last Saturday, M.D. Richardson, who had been living west of town the last four years, fell dead at the camp house in the wagon yard." The obit went on to say that a coroner's jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes. Vonnie said in later years that he suffered from "dropsy," an old term for congestive heart failure.
