After Sam and Gracie Orum died, four of their children were sent to the
I.O.O.F. Orphanage at Checotah, Oklahoma. One of these children was Leroy.
At that time, Wyatt was the head of the orphanage. Some time after 1910,
Wyatt and his wife, Mollie, adopted Leroy. This is our link to Wyatt Melvin Butt.
