Trouble as a youth: for shooting off firecrackers inside the school - S10,
"1869-Public Order Crime: Disturbing the Peace. William was found guilty for shooting off his pistol inside the Poor school house during a spelling competition. He not only shot off his pistol, ‘whooping and hollering and cursing', but also lit firecrackers he held in his hand, and then threw live firecrackers within the school room. He was 18 yrs. old." S3,

Son: Oscar Francis Poor
Flo Gaunt and Sandford McCammon - Marriage, 1913: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XXJZ-HRJ

Thanks for finding that. She married one of the POOR family before her death so I was trying to get her Find a Grave memorial correct. Now what's weird is that I had searched those same records using McCammon and nothing came up, but it came up for you on Family Search. Okay, one more mystery for you then since you are better at this than me. I have also searched those same records for her last marriage to my POOR family.

Between that last marriage to Sanford Ivan McCammon in 1913 and before the 1930 census she remarried my POOR. Can you find that one? I've tried!!!
Here's the problem. Wm H Poor had a son named Francis Oscar Poor b. 1884 IN who after his parents divorced in 1893 started going by his mothers maiden name of Wagoner. Francis Oscar Wagoner. Then to make matters worse at some point he decided to shorten that and go by Wagner. So their headstone in Hartford City Cem reads Florine Wagner, Oscar F. Wagner. I have tried all those names to find out the date between 1913-1930 they married with no luck.
