Read More	Ernest Clifton "Ert" Wood was born after his father, Clifton Wood (1861-1945), fulfilled the homestead requirements in Kiowa County (just over the Comanche County line), Kansas, and returned to his home in Missouri. (His father went there in fall, 1886, the year of the great blizzard, with two brothers, Lisha Wood, and Jasper Wood, and two friends, Isac Bailey and Abe Hoffslot, to homestead.) The next year, December 28, 1887, Ert's father married Anna Mae McDaniel (1866-1943). Before they returned to the homestead, three sons were born, one being Ernest. Ert came in 1898 with his parents and two brothers to Comanche and Kiowa counties. His father became ill and nearly died in the first winter as they lived in a tent with livestock tethered to the wagon they had arrived in. He married Leone Powell in 1914 at Wichita. Ert served in the military in World War I and was reported missing in action and later reported killed in action. Still later, it was discovered that he had been captured and was alive, a POW in Germany, where he spent two years waiting for the war's end, when he was finally released. As long as his health permitted, he was very interested in raising flowers and gardening. His entire civilian life was spent in Comanche and Kiowa counties with the exception of some time spent in Denver and Grand Lake, Colo., and time in care at the end of his life. He died October 15, 1977, at Veterans Administration Hospital in Wichita. He was a retired restaurant operator.

Survivors included his widow (living in San Antonio, Tex.); son, Donald Ira Wood, Houston, Tex.; brothers, Harold, Wilmore, Kan., and Basil, Medicine Lodge, Kan.; two grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, John Powell (of Sheridan, Wyo.), in 1966, and a sister, Barbara, who died in infancy. Burial was in the Wilmore cemetery. Pallbearers were Bruce Wedel, Dwight Unruh, Lester Fry, Jr., E. L. Gordon, Mike Unruh, and August Metzger.
