My grandparents, Herman and Mancy Bailey and son, Lloyd, moved from Topeka,
  Kansas, to Eldred, Kansas, 25 miles west of Medicine Lodge, via covered wagon
  around 1880 and settled on a cattle ranch.
     In 1889 a daughter, Louise, was born in Medicine Lodge.
     Shortly after the turn of the century the ranch was sold, and the family
  moved to Kiowa, settling on Hopkins St.
     My grandfather and another gentleman opened a planing mill. After that 
  adventure, he was active in city and county politics. He was City Judge for a 
  number of years.
     My dad was sent to Winfield College. On graduation he went to Wichita to
  Barber School. Upon completing that course he returned to Kiowa and opened his
  own Barber Shop.
     By this time Louise was a young lady and went to work for the Telephone Co.,
  for which she worked for 40 years.
     On February 15, 1911, my parents, Lloyd and Sara (Cox) were married. Mother
  had been working for Hill Department Store. They moved into their new home
  that they had just built at 816 Hopkins St.
     To that union I was born. I graduated from Kiowa High School in 1929 along
  with 40 other students that had all started in the 1st grade together.
     In 1930 Dad sold his barber shop and took over the management of The Home
  Service Oil Supply Store. The same year my grandfather passed away, and three
  years later my grandmother also died.
     As all young men, I went out on my own taking a job with Safeway Stores at
  Augusta, Kansas.
     In 1933 I was married to Nadine Worline. We had a son, Dwight, in 1936. We
  moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, in 1940 and still live there.
     Dad passed away in 1950, Mother in 1960, and Lousie in 1972. Louise never
  married.
     Dwight, his wife, Janell, and three children, Kenneth, 17; Jeffrey, 15; and
  Nancy, 7 live on their wheat and cattle ranch at Pendleton, Oregon.
