    • LKH note:
      Harry was first married to Rebecca W. (Johnson) (1880-1969) on 5 Nov 1901 in Indiana.
      They had 3 children.

      1910 census, Cripple Creek, Teller County, Colorado
      Harry Wood, 31, b. Kansas, mail clerk
      Rebecca Wood, 30
      Elden O. Wood, 8
      Verda Wood, 3

      When their youngest son, Olin, was born his birth certificate gives Harry's residence as Cripple Creek, Colorado and Rebecca's residence as Portland, Jay County, Ohio. Which leads us to conclude that Rebecca had left Harry to move back to Ohio while she was pregnant with Olin.

      Harry's World War I draft card (12 Sept 1918) gives his address as Saginaw, Tarrant County, Texas. Nearest relative: Mrs. Rebecca Wood, Portland, Indiana.
