Richard Lewis Morton, Sr.

brief biography and family

From an unidentified source:

Richard L. Morton and Samuel Doss would become husbands and her next victims. Both met Nannie through lonely-hearts correspondence. She married Morton in 1952 in Emporia, Kansas, and not long after, Morton began often venturing into town for long periods of time to be with other women. Meanwhile, Nannie's time was consumed with her mother, who had come to live with the couple in January 1953 after the death of Nannie's father. Within days of her arrival, Lou complained of severe stomach pains and died. Morton died three months later after drinking a thermos full of coffee that Nannie had spiked with arsenic. 

comments

Date and place of death have also been erroneously reported to be April 1953 at Emporia, Lyon County, Kansas, United States (implied in aforementioned report, conflicts with his Find A Grave memorial).
