Henry and Sarah Richel

Henry Harrison Richel and his wife Sarah E. Cullimore lived in South Coffeyville, Kansas.  So far, I have discovered only 2 children, Ida Bell Richel who died at age 2.  Ida Bell is listed as Hardee or Hardes (somewhat illegible) Rikle on the 1870 KS, Labette County, Hackberry Township census.

Rikle, Henry, 30, farmer, born in PA
