John R and Hattie ? Pyatt
John R Pyatt was born December 2, 1871, to William Calton Pyatt and Elizabeth M Alford in Wright County, Missouri and died July 31, 1953. He married first Hattie ?Nichols probably in Wright County, Missouri. Hattie was born April 10, 1873 in Missouri and died September 11, 1924. John married second c1928 (probably Wright County, Missouri) Daisey ? who was born June 16, 1881 and who died March 29, 1952. All three are buried in the Mt Zion Cemetery, Wright County, Missouri.
John and Hattie had the following known children:
- Jessie F Pyatt (female) b: Jan 1891 MO (probably Wright Co)
- Flossie Chloe Pyatt b: 15 Sep 1896 Wright Co, MO d: 25 Oct 1896
Wright Co, MO (buried Mt Zion Cemetery, Wright Co, MO)
- Earl L Pyatt b: 28 Dec 1898 Wright Co, MO (headstone
Mt Zion Cemetery, Wright Co, MO, no ending date)
John and Hattie had and lost a child in 1896 who is buried with other Pyatt family members in the Mt Zion Cemetery, Wright County, Missouri. Earl's headstone only had a born date and was not inscribed with a death date when the readings were taken in 1961. Did he have a stone put up in the event of his eventual death (and hadn't died yet) or was the death date not inscribed or unreadable?
On the 1900 census, John and Hattie appeared as follows in Boone Township, Wright County, Missouri:

This family was enumerated #121/124 pg 110B 114/144/6/93 (Ancestry.com image 12/23). Also in Boone Township were his parents and his brother, William Thomas Pyatt. Their brother, Joseph C Pyatt, was in Union Township.
John had two other siblings who were living at this time - but, I have not found where they are in 1900.
They were still in Boone Township on the 1910 census as follows:
- Pyatt, John R age 38 born MO / wm / married1 for 20 yrs / farmer / own farm / father/mother born TN

This family was enumerated 162/169 pg 8B (Ancestry.com image 16/25). Also in Boone Township were John's brother, William T Pyat; his nephew, William A Pyatt (William T's son); and his first cousin, Thomas B Pyatt. His brother, Joseph C Pyatt, was still in Union Township. It appears that Jessie has married or died as she is not with the family. I need to look in the households around John and Hattie.
They were in Boone Township, Wright County, Missouri, on the 1920 census as follows:

William T Pyatt and his children, Walter Pyatt and Minnie Bunn were living nearby as were his brothers, Thomas B Pyatt and William J Pyatt. His brother, Joseph C Pyatt, was in Hart Township, Wright County, Missouri, where he was the manager of the alms house (poor house).
