In 1916, Richard would have been 35 years old, not 26. Was he fibbing about his age to appear younger to Annie? Annie's age is correct for a marriage in 1916, but everything else points to a marriage in 1906 (see 1920 and 1930 censuses). Did they live together for ten years before getting married? Is that the reason I can't find them in the 1910 census?

I realize the Great Depression had begun, but were they really reduced to giving up their four youngest (non-working) children (see next source)? How tragic.

They are four of many children in the orphanage, all of whom were given the same birthplaces (AR/US/US). James & Anna are still alive, so why are their children in an orphanage?
