Hello Linda,
I believe that this is my Oren Barrick. I found him in the 1920’s Census in, Union Twp, City of Dixon, Pulaski Co, Missouri, on Oak St. as:
Oren Barrick, head of household, age 23, born in Iowa, married to Lena Barrick age 14, born in Missouri. I have a copy of the Census record, but they are hard to read. The only other information on it is that he was a hired worker. Oren’s wife did die giving birth to my grandmother and her twin, but my grandmother lived with him for a while before she was placed in an orphanage. If the Census records don’t show her on it, then maybe she wasn’t born yet. It’s my understanding that Velma’s mother also died during or shortly giving birth to her. The stories are confusing, and my grandmother didn’t want to talk about it. When she did talk about it, she would start to cry. Oren, through his son Ray (Barrick) Branson, found my grandmother in the late 50’s. They were able to get to know each other during that time. Oren was in the military, because I have some pictures of him in uniform. I have no other information about him, but if his father was born in Pennsylvania then he may be part of the Pennsylvania Barrick’s. I wish I had more to go on. I am going to attempt to write Ray and ask him if he has more information. That may take a while.
Do you have any other information about Oren Barrick?
Please keep in contact…..
