Note: www.findagrave.com Memorial # 49145852 ----- Enjoyed "tinkering" with cars and family history. ----- Lloyd Laverle Moody: We lived in Ramsey, Butler Co., KS while my dad worked the oil fields. This is where Ruth Ann was born. Then we moved to Oil Valley, north of Ramsey. (Oil Valley and Ramsey were north of El Dorado, KS) My folks didn't think the oil fieldwas a very good place to raise a boy, so that first summer when I became 8 and Harry 10 yrs. old, Harry was sent to live with Grandpa Tregemba and I went to live with Uncle Harvey and Aunt Myrtle Talley. They were just newly married and lived in a large house in Windom, KS, which was west of McPherson. Uncle Harvey worked with his brother and operated the Santa Fe Garage in Windom. I had no clothes to speak of so Uncle Harvey bought me a new pair of coveralls. I wore those coveralls all that summer. When wash day came, I had to go to bed while Aunt Myrtle washed and dried my coveralls. That summer, he would have me sweep out that big garage, "Globe Garage", that they were repairing cars in. Then he would give me 5 cents to by a double dip ice cream cone. Through the years, he taught me how to work on all kinds of engines and many shop skills that I have used through a lifetime. When we lived in Oil Valley, you could see the oil derricks from our home. We were near oil well #1 and oil well #3. I was in the third Grade when my folks moved from Oil Valley to Independance, MO. I remember when my cousin Bobby Tregemba was little and we saw him cry until he got his apple. We children would stand around and watch him eat his apple and then one of us would get the apple core to eat. That was as near to fresh fruit that we ever got. ----- www.familysearch.org - Missouri, County Marriage, Naturalization, and Court Records, 1800-1991, Book K, pg. 228, Lloyd L. Moody &Ruth E.
