In 1908 his father, W.C.White, took him along with
a family group (including cousins Duxsie Wharton and Eliza Jackson) on the train to Creede, CO. They were met there by Carl(?) Officer with a four wheel wagon and team of horses and taken to Officer's guest ranch on Squaw creek.
Elmer, Martha, and Gladys Hosler (5 yrs old) were camping near there. While trout fishing, Stan (19 yrs old) carried Gladys across the creek to join her mother on the other side. He later jokingly told her that if he had known how much trouble she would be, he would have dropped her in the
middle of the creek.
In the summer of 1922, Stanley (now 33) was camping with friends from Cadiz, Howell Hopson, Charlie Humphries, and Dr. Magraw's son who died soon after with TB. They were staying at Wagonwheel Gap at Cap (George) Wharton's place. The Hosler family was again camping nearby (Elmer had been a friend of Cap`s for many years) and Cap suggested the girls come over to visit as the boys were tired of fishing by this time. Gladys (now 18) and Clara Officer reluctantly went, taking sugar cookies Martha had baked. After that
Gladys and Stan and Howell and Clara were together constantly. They returned to Ordway where Stan had relatives, Ruth and (?) Henderson, and they "ran around" in the Hosler's Studebaker. They talked about marriage and agreed to wait and consider. Stan was called home because his mother had an accident; ceiling plaster had fallen on her head and she was knocked unconscious. When Gladys wrote later that her mother wanted her to go on to college (she had just finished high school and had taken some college
credit courses) and some of the boys from there were going too. In his next letter Stan proposed marriage and when she accepted, he sent her a stunning engagement ring. He came out to Ordway on the train after Christmas and they were married. They spent their honeymoon on the train and in St. Louis before returning to Cadiz.
