I wonder who he was buying cattle for. I doubt it was for himself, since he, his wife and 9 children never stayed in one place very long. It was during the Great Depression and times were hard, especially in Oklahoma. My guesses would be he absconded with the money to start a new life, was scammed out of the money and too ashamed to return home or robbery leading to foul play. Not a lot of info out there.
