Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Work of Edwin Kleber Wood

Pictures taken shortly before our marriageonly my father and mother, my brother Clarence, the minister, and a neighbor, Mrs. George Knapp, who had come to help during the day, being pres ent. We were married at two o'clock in the after noon. My mother was in bed all day with a severe headache, and I cooked the turkey dinner. Father and I spent the night at my home, the following day going to visit Father's parents at Gainesville.

In a few days we left for Stanton. Upon reach ing there we began our married life in a small house standing on a little piece of ground which had been cleared by Father. All around us was a dense pine forest. In the yard were several stumps. One, directly in front of our front door, we had to walk over in order to get into the yard.

Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Work of Edwin Kleber Wood

Edwin Kleber Wood was the only son of Cheney and Laura Brown Wood, and was born in Eagle, Wyoming County, New York, February 17, 1840. "Father" - as I always called him - had two sisters, - Helen, the wife of Peter Lucas, and Theresa, the wife of Robert Wallace. His boyhood was spent at Gainesville, New York, on a farm, and his education was obtained in a district school and at Pike Seminary, located at Pike, Wyoming County, New York.

In 1861 he entered the Civil War as a private in Company K, Seventeenth New York Volunteer Infantry. During the war he was wounded at Hanover Court House. He served until the regiment was dismissed from service, being discharged June 2, 1863, as Corporal.
