Richard Charles Stinnett was born April 19, 1909 and was the youngest son of John and Lizzie Stinnett. He first appears in the 1910 Federal Census which gives his birthplace as Arkansas though the family had moved to Joplin by that time. He attended the Lincoln School in Joplin from 1916 to 1918. He is listed with the family in Webb City in the 1920 census. Richard appears to have gone to school in Wichita, Kansas for a while where his mother and sister Walsie visited him in May 1921.
