The drama crowding a half,
century of marriage will be on
review at the fiftieth anniversary
celebration of Mr. and Mrs. R. C.
Wood in the Pioneer Memorial
Building next Sunday. Reception-
will be from 3 to 6 p.m.
' It all began when Katie Lillian
Robertson slipped out the back
door and down the lane to a ren-
dezvous with her sweetheart. She
got into the wagon with R. C.
Wood, who had forearmed him-
self with a marriage license.
The wasp-waisted bride was
dressed in white dimity. This
daring elopement created quite
a stir in the little community in
the northeast corner of Dallas
county that day, June 25, 1911.
Theme for the Sunday recep-
tion, marking that historic
■flight, will be "This is Your
Life" using pictures gathered
throughout the Woods' marriage.
Mrs. Stanley Nixon brought this
collection together.
All of the Woods' friends from
Crosbyton and the entire area
are invited to the fiftieth anni-
versary event.
Hosts for the celebration will
be Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Forgus.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wood, Cros-
byton, and Mr. and Mrs. Bud
Kelley, Petersburg; assisted by
their children, Mr. and Mrs. Ron-
nie Forgus, Beaumont, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Daly and Frank Jr.,
Santa Fe, Dell Forgus, Diane
Wood, George Forgus, Crosbytpn,
Bob and Don KTelley, Petersburg.
Mr. and Mrs. Wood moved to
West Texas when Lubbock had
plank sidewalks, six small
brick buildings and a wooden
courthouse. Mrs. Wood said,

"Actually, we moved out here
three times, but, like kids, we
would get homesick and move
back home. The last time we
moved out here, we brought
some canned plums which had
made their third trip."
Recalling early years on the
South Plains, Wood said he
worked for Albert Taylor 11
miles southwest of Lubbock. He
added, "1 made $40 a month and
we thought we were rich."
"While R. C. was working for
Taylor," Mrs. Wood said, "I
could see him coming home for
seven miles in the big freight
wagon pulled by four horses.
There was nothing to obstruct
the view in any direction."
Ranching and farming was the
main occupation during those
early days and Wood recalls
driving cattle to Muleshoe for
shipping. Since there were no
pens, the cowboys stood guard
over the cattle at night. In those
days, Mrs. Wood pointed out,
they spoke of the 40 mile dis-
tance from Muleshoe to Farwell
as "22 gates to open."
The Woods moved to Lubbock
county in 1914, moved to Becton
in 1917, and to Idalou in 1928.
In 1935 they moved tHeir family
to a ranch at Silver Falls east of
Crosby to?f. In 1943 Wood bought
the John Deere dealership here,
which he operated several years.
They also bought the ranch
where their home is located on
the edge of the canyon east of
Crosbyton in IMS. Here, until re-
cently, they raised quarter
horses. Although the horses have
since been replaced on the ranch
by cattle, the Woods keep one
gentle horse for riding and own
a race horse at Brady. A large
corner trophy case in their home
contains the many awards won
by their quarterhorses in past
years.
Wood served as Crosby County
Commissioner during 57-58. Mr.
and Mrs. Wood are both active
workers in the First Baptist
Church here.
Despite the constant battle
with West Texas weather, Mrs.
Wood's hobby, gardening, has
produced a beautiful yard which
includes dahlias, daylilies, dou-
ble poppies and a hydrangea in
full bloom, with tall evergreens
and large mimosa trees for
shade.
Mr. and Mrs. Wood have two
children, Mrs. D. D. Forgus and
J. W. Wood, both of Crosbyton.
A daughter, Helen, died in 1944.
A gold metallic cloth will
cover the serving table on which
will be a three tier wedding
cake trimmed with gold. An ar-
rangement of gold roses will be
flanked by gold candles.
Members of the house party
will be Mrs. Melvin Price and
