On Hettie's entry, it first said Indian Territory, then that was marked out and Oklahoma was written above it. The same thing was done on Ola's entry. This is odd, unless the enumerator meant to indicate they were born in Oklahoma Territory. But this is not likely, since Hettie was born also before the establishment of Oklahoma Territory in 1890 (or 1889), and Indian Territory was not merged with Oklahoma Territory and other lands to become Oklahoma until September 1907, the year before daughter Ollie was born.
In 1918, Robert registered for the draft in Spiro, Oklahoma. He reported his contact as Mrs Pearlee Mosley in Spiro. It is not clear who this was.

Brakeman Ft Smith & W Ry, Ft Smith
Nearest Relative Mrs Pearlee Mosley
Medium Height & Build, Gray Eyes, Brown Hair
Registered 11 September 1918 Ft Smith, Sebastian, Arkansas
By 1920, Robert and Hettie appear to have divorced. The 1920 census name Lee for his wife seems to represent the name Pearlee he reported in the 1918 draft registration as his nearest relative. The age of their first child indicates they married about January 1915, which was while Hettie was pregnant with her and Robert's last child Woodrow, who was born in May 1915..

The birth of Maggie in Missouri indicates that Hettie and Robert moved to Missouri for a short time then back to Oklahoma. Likely Robert died in Oklahoma. Sebastian County is across the border in Arkansas. There was a lot of movement of Terrry family members across the border between LeFlore County, Oklahoma, and Sebastian and neighboring counties in Arkansas.
Robert's WWII registration reported his birth date as 28 November 1882, reather than 20 November 1882, as he reported in 1918. His conatact was his daughter Maggie.
