Notes for JOSEPH EDWARD BRICKER:
1920 Census - Mounds, Creek, Oklahoma
- Joseph moved family to Oklahoma, worked in oil field. 2 daughters were born in Oklahoma.

Why did people move to OK for oil work? There may have been some previous experience in that line of work. Here's a snippet from Blackford County history:

The county was caught up in the explosive growth of the gas boom in the late 19th century, which drew swarms of drillers to the area after natural gas was discovered in 1885. In 1886, drillers near Trenton in southeastern Blackford County hit one of the peak producing wells along the underground Trenton Dome, which produced strikes from Gas City to Portland and Montpelier to Redkey. The 30-year rough-and-tumble boom era brought rapid industrialization as companies moved close to the cheap and abundant fuel supply, but the gas ran out and the county has not seen such dramatic change since
