I'm not researching this family, just trying to help you.
I found birth of Margaret Louise Richter 16 Feb 1910 in Kosciusko Co. IN to Oscar Richter
and Cora E. Jones. Book CH5-page 18. Also found births for Forest E. Richter 16 Nov 1907
and unnamed male 4 Oct 1902.
Oscar died 11 Nov 1914 in Kosciusko Co. IN. Found no record
on Cora.
Melvin Barr married Ora Wine 20 Nov 1898 in Kosciusko Co. IN Book L page 53.
Margaret Louise Richter married G. Freeland "Flip" Phillips. He was born 20 Apr
1909 and died 6 Dec 1998 in Nashville, Davidson, TN. Margaret died 3 Dec 2004.
As recent as her obit is you should be able to obtain a copy
from the Nashville paper, whichever one it was. I live in
VA and don't know the papers from that area.
The only connection I can figure out as to why Margaret was living with Melvin and Ora
Barr was that the Cora in the birth index may have been misspelled and it should have been
Ora. I found lots of mistakes in my IN Birth Index with spellings, etc. Maybe obit will
say mother's correct name.
Hope this helps you.
