Luman Guy Singer was born May 9, 1885, to Mr. and Mrs. John Singer. He was
  the first child of a family of nine children. Luman married Daisy Mae Louthan 
  in 1909. To this union 5 children were born. I was the third child in the
  family.
     My parents settled on a claim in Oklahoma and lived there for several years
  before moving to their home northeast of Medicine Lodge. My mother carried the
  mail from Medicine Lodge to Mumford post office with a horse and buggy. The
  school teacher stayed at our home and walked to school with us children.
     I remember going to literaries at Mumford in a horse drawn sleigh. It was
  bitter cold, but we were snuggled down in blankets and hay. I was six years
  old when my parents died of the flu of 1918. My grandparents, James and Lucy
  Louthan, took us four children to raise. They were, Oliver, 8; Bertha, 6;
  Kenneth, 4; and Wanona, 2. Wanona died four months after my parents.
     James Louthan was born in 1863 and died in 1933. Lucy Turley Louthan was
  born at Sedalia, Mo., in 1873 and died in 1961.
     I attended Mumford and Kingman grade school before we settled in Medicine
  Lodge, where I graduated from High School in May 1931.
     In January 1931, I married Guy Aubley, and we moved north of Medicine Lodge,
  to a farm where we now live. The farm was once owned by my great grandfather
  John Louthan. He lived here in 1865. The north 80 acres was owned, at one time,
  by Meade Randolph. He broke the ground with a team of oxen.
     I remember well that one dollar was enough to buy a week's groceries. We
  were busy farming with horses, raising chickens, gardening, and milking Jersey
  cows to make a living. Our first wheat crop sold for 25 cents a bushel. Our
  corn crop sold for 11 cents per bushel. We burned some of the corn in the
  stove that winter.
     In those days the social life of the community centered around the home and
  the school. We had box-suppers and spelling matches and programs at Mumford
  school. One of the teachers stayed at our house for several years when she
  taught here.
     Our son, Guy Eugene, was born at home in 1932. Our daughter, Barbara, was
  born 4 years later. Both were active in 4-H and community work while at home.
  Both won many local, state, and national awards. Note: Guy Eugene's Aubley's
  story follows.
     Barbar attended country school for 6 years, and then finished school at
  Medicine Lodge before attending KS College for 3 years. She graduated from
  Airline school in Chicago and worked for Delta Airlines for four years before
  marrying Richard Petry. They have two children - Bradley, 16 years, and
  Pamela, 15. Gene has one daughter, Stephanie.
     Guy and I were active in 4-H work for many years. We are still busy farming,
  church work and clubs. Guy has been the Pony Express rider in the Indian Peace
  Treaty Pageant every performance and he plans on riding with his son this year,
  1979.
     We built the house we are presently living in 47 years ago, and hope to
  celebrate our golden wedding here in 1981.
