Mabel Campbell was born in 1881 in Kansas.[1] Her parents were Andrew Jackson Campbell and Jennie London.[2] The family had settled in Republic County, Kansas by 1885 when Mabel was 3.[3] Her parents apparently divorced sometime in the mid 1890s and her father left the area.[4] Her mother Jennie married Albert “Al” Myrick in 1902.[5]
Mabel Campbell married William F. “Frank” Haning on May 26, 1901 in Scandia, Republic County, Kansas.[6] William was born in 1877 in Iowa and died in Oklahoma in January, 1910.[7]
Mabel was living with her mother and her mother’s second husband Albert Myrik in Esbon, Kansas at the time of the 1910 US census.[8] Mabel’s mother Jennie died in September, 1912.[9] Mabel took care of her step father Albert Myrick until he died in 1915. Her role was noted in his obituary.[10] Mabel filed a claim against his estate for $942 for her services in the last years of his life. The executor of the estate denied her claim, but she took him to court and won, including interest and court costs.[11]
On December 2, 1914, Mabel Haning about age 33 married Warner Claude Jackson age 22 in Belleville, Republic County, Kansas.[12] They were both from Esbon and initially lived with Albert Myrick in Esbon.[13] Warner or Claude was born July 9, 1892 in Greene County, Tennessee.[14] They were together in Esbon for the 1920 US census but were living separately in Esbon and apparently divorced by the 1925 Kansas census—with both listed as widowed.[15]
Mabel Haning Jackson about age 46 married Curran “Curny” Rogers age 49 on October 18, 1927 in Glen Elder, Mitchell County, Kansas.[16] This was Curny’s first marriage. As described in his profile, after his father died, Curny lived with his mother and worked the family farm until his mother’s death in 1924. Mabel and Curny lived together in Esbon until her death in 1948.
