George P. Wiltshire came to Barber County from Illinois in 1880 with his
  parents and two brothers. He worked at the gyp mine at Kling, then came to
  Medicine Lodge, where he worked at Best Bros. Keene Cement Co., as a black-
  smith.
     Catherine Kidd, with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kidd, one brother and
  two sisters also came from Illinois. They returned to Illinois after two
  years and later moved to Missouri.
     George then went to Missouri to marry his bride, Catherine, in 1911. They
  returned to Medicine Lodge and established their home near the Gyp Mill. Two
  children blessed this home, Mae and Vernon. They received their education in
  the Medicine Lodge Schools. The family were all members and regular attendants
  at the First Baptist Church.
     Vernon made his home in Oregon. His wife, Lucille (Gardner) and five
  children continued to live there after Vernon's death in 1974.
     Best Bros. Keene Cement became National Gypsum and built the board plant
  in 1950. The house where the Wiltshires and later the Mains lived had to be
  moved from the site to make room for the board plant. It was relocated at
  314 Black Gold, where they continued to reside. Mr Wiltshire died in 1955.
     The Mains welcomed a son, Marion, in 1930. He was born in the same home
  where his mother ws born. Marion also attended the local schools. He married
  Shirley Nickles. They have three daughters: Mary Lynn (Mrs. Tom Miller,
  Beaumont, Tex.), Laura Ann, and Erica Louise, and live in Port Arthur, Texas.
  Marion is a welder for oilfield construction.
     George Main accepted a custodial job at the new Medicine Lodge Hospital
  where he was a faithful employee until his untimely death in 1960. Mrs.
  Wiltshire died in 1965.
     Mae is a cook at Medicine Lodge Memorial Hospital, where she has worked
  for 21 years. She has seen many changes through the years. The 1927 tornado
  destroyed homes and injured a close friend, Viola Moomau Lawrence. The
  pavement laid, the buiness fronts were improved, the courthouse and grade
  school were both replaced. Mae witnessed her church burn and relocate. She 
  now worships at the new location near her home.
     Many things both good and bad have happened in her lifetime, but she
  still enjoys live in Medicine Lodge.
     Mrs. James Main, Mae's mother-in-law lives in Decater, Arkansas, and is
  99 years of age.
