My grandparents, Fred and Barbara Aubley, came to Kansas from Pennsylvania in
  1883, having bought a farm 5 miles west of Medicine Lodge. My father, William C.
  Aubley, the youngest of a family of nine children, was twelve years old. In 1903
  he married Lucy Lukens, daughter of Marion and Anna Lukens, who had moved to
  Barber County in 1888. She was the oldest girl of eleven children.
     My parents had four children: Carl, Madge, Guy, and Ralph (born 1910). I am
  the youngest. We all attended Doles School Dist. 16, and later Barber County
  High School, now Medicine Lodge High School, or USD 254.
     After graduation I worked in gas fields of Barbara Oil Company from 1929
  until World War II, when I entered the service February of 1942. I was in the
  USAF Medical Department for nearly four years. After I was discharged from the
  service, I farmed and also was a custom wheat cutter for several years. I later
  farmed in eastern Colorado.
     In 1952 I was married to Ruby (Baird) Pyle, formerly of Mooreland, Oklahoma.
  She has a son Loren Pyle and three grandchildren: Sheri, Tami, and Ricky Pyle.
     We belonged to the Medicine Lodge Roping Club for a number of years and were
  members of a square dance on horseback group which participated in all Indian
  Pageants from 1927-1979.
     Since 1954 we have farmed south of Medicine Lodge, where we bought a place,
  and have enjoyed raising cattle and wheat.
     In our brief life, we have witnessed a great change from horse and buggy to
  Model T cars, Fordson tractor to the rocket age and the landing of man on the
  moon.
     
      Beautiful Medicine Valley
      
   In beautiful Medicine Valley
   Where fields are always green
   Where the white folks and the Indians
   Their differences could be seen.
   On the banks of the Medicine River
   Where the herbs grow tall and green;
   Where medicine men made medicine,
   With water form the cool, clear
   stream.
   On the banks of the Medicine River
   Where Indians' lodges were seen
   By Coronado and his warriors,
   Beside this cool, clear stream.
   In beautiful Medicine Valley
   Where fields are always green;
   Where medicine men made medicine,
   With water form the cool, clear stream.
   On the banks of this beautiful river,
   The making of history was seen;
   Five tribes signed the Treaty of
   Peace.
   Beside the cool, clear stream.
   In beautiful Medicine Valley
   Where fields are always green,
   Where medicine men made medicine
   With water fromthe cool, clear stream.
