Aunt Mag Wood came to this state in 1874 and lived six miles south of Augusta until her marriage.
Aunt Mag first trip to Kansas was with her parents and four brothers and sisters. They left Tennessee August 31, 1874 by train, which took them three days and almost three nights to reach Wichita, at that time only a small village. They left Wichita in a farm wagon to drive 25 miles to their destination. The crossing over the Mississippi was by boat as there was no bridges constructed at that time.
The house lived in here during their first winter in Kansas was about 10X12 with attic room upstairs. It was located about six miles southwest of Augusta.
A hard blizzard struck about January 8, 1875, five of the family slept in one bed and two on the couch covered with heavy covers. Although it was a hard winter there was sleigh riding and Mrs. Wood's brother-in-law to be, Mrs. C.O. Varners father furnished the horses and sleigh. Ice on the river was frozen 18 inches thick.
When Aunt Mag went to school she walked two and one fourth miles at the age of eight. School had a three-month term in the fall and a three-month term in the spring.
In March 1875, Aunt Mag's father bought 80 acres of land. After living in a three room house located ¾ miles south of the old stone church for a time a twelve-room house was built later.
In the fall of 1881 about 500 Indians were camped about a half mile from their place on their way between Indian territory and Nebraska.

Aunt Mag Wood Had More Relatives than Listed in Obituary
A letter from Mrs. Nina (A.J.) Mayberry of 10447 Reseda Boulevard of Northridge, California was received by the Gazette this morning and states that Aunt Wood, who was buried last week, had more relatives than the obituary.
Her letter reads in part:
Aunt Mag was my mother's only living sister. We loved Aunt Mag dearly and will miss her greatly. I have a sister; Mrs. Beatrice Gunn, Wichita, two brothers Chester Black of Nevada Mo, and Lester Black of Pennsicola Florida. Another sister of Aunt Mags is Mrs.; Nora Black dead now many years has a daughter, Mrs. Goldie Grow of Atlantic, Kansas and her brother Leo Dysart of Neb. Leo lived in Augusta many years so these five names and mine Mrs. Nina Mayberry should have been added to the surviving relatives list plus scores of great nieces and nephews.
Roy Hanes of Douglass, who just passed away in July, was the last son of Aunt Mag's brother to pass away.
Thank you Mrs. Nina (A.J.) Maybery
