I am looking for any information concerning my grandfather, John Wood, born January 29, 1850 in Henry County, KY; his wife and my grandmother, Mary Marie Dixon Wood, born March 29, 1858 in Mifflin County, PA; and their children: Maude Melissa Wood born May 22, 1879, Madison, Monroe County, MO; Guy Manyard Wood born January 25, 1881, Madison, Monroe County, MO; Elmer John Wood born September 6, 1884, Hooser, Cowley County, KS; George Dixon Wood born May 4, 1888, Hooser, Cowley County, KS; Otis Calvin Wood born April 1, 1897, Hooser, Cowley County, KS; Neal Edward Wood born August 6, 1902, Hooser, Cowley County, KS.

They lived in a sod dug out during the period of about 1885-86 then built a frame house on their farm in which they remained. John and Mary lived there (Hooser, near Burden, in an area known as Irish Flats) until 1916 when they turned the farm over to their daughter, Maude who married Walter Foltz, and they lived there until Maude died on February 28, 1956.

Surely someone there remembers them and can provide me with some information.
