Luther Boone Redwine, Sr., came to Kansas from Sandyhook, Kentucky, in
     the early 1900's. He worked around Barber County several years before
     going back to Kentucky to bring the rest of his family here. They were 
     his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William B. Redwine, four sisters and four 
     brothers. They lived in Coats, Kansas, before settling in Lake City, 
     where William did carpenter work; there he built the old hotel, which
     still stands.
       Luther Boone Redwine married Lenora R. Marquand of Medicine Lodge in
     1912. Boone Redwine was also a carpenter and worked on many of the homes
     in Lake City. Later he ran a hardware and grocery store. When he went
     out of the grocery business, he was a mail carrier between Lake City
     and Aetna. He worked at that until his health began to fail. They had
     a family of two boys and five girls; I am the fifth of seven children.
       I received my education in the Lake City schools. My Uncle Albert and
     family lived across the alley from us; so, with their six children and 
     all of us, we could play just about anything - which we did. That alley
     was full of Redwinds most of the time.
       I've always enjoyed fooling around with cars - as a boy, especially
     Model-T's. My cousin M.C. and I used to drive our old Model-T through
     the Medicine River just to see if we could make it, which we usually 
     did. If anything could be done with a Model-T, we did it. In fact, I
     wish I had that car today; then the snow wouldn't keep me house-bound.
       When I graduated from high school, I went into the Army in 1942. After
     my training at Camp Campbell, Kentucky, I was sent to Germany. There I was
     with the Twelfth Armored Division. When World War II was over, I stayed in
     Germany with the Army of Occupation. We hauled supplies all over Germany,
     France, and Belgium. In 1947 I was transferred back to the States and was
     discharged at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
       After working in a body and fender shop in Pratt for seven years, I went
     to work for the National Gypsum Company and have been employed there for
     20 years.
       We lost my father in 1951 and my brother, Luther Boone, Jr., in 1973.
     Mother, who is 85, lives with me in Lake City.
       Barber County has always been my home and probably always will be.
