Agnes Rich was born Agnes Mary Brix in Wisner, Nebraska, USA, on 20 January 1892 as the second of eight children born to Frank and Rosalia (née Urbanek) Brix. She travelled with her family to Arcola, Texas when she was three years old. In 1914, when she was 22, she married her first husband Jay Yoho and had a son, Jack (born 1920), with him.
