Orlo married Margaret Jennie Buchanan on 3 Aug 1926 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. [2] [3]
I stated that Orlo was born in Adobe Walls, Hutcheson City, Texas ( Roberts County) as that was the address the family (James and Lila and all) lived when James wrote a letter home to Nova Scotia before going home in December 1890. Patricia Grainger Shortly thereafter James and Lila brought the family back to Nova Scotia as his Dad was in very poor health. They remained in Nova Scotia . Their eldest son John remained in Colorado where he worked in the mines.
My father Anderson-8186 Orlo Nyman Anderson b. 1890 was named after his 1st cousin Joseph Orlo Nyman b. 1864 . Nyman-308 Patricia Anderson Grainger
When Orlo was in his middle to late teens there was a cow on the farm and it had to be put to death. A bunch of the brothers were doing the deed. Orlo was holding the cow with a short rope and the eldest boy there was shooting. Fred shot and missed and shot Orlo's upper arm. His arm had to be amputated at the elbow. So it was difficult in later years to be a farmer but it was amazing what he could do with only one hand.
