"Dr. John Boggus will return soon from Nashville Medical College legally prepared to roll pills. -Guntersville Democrat 10 Mar. 1892, New Hope

DR. JOHN WILSON BOGGESS SR. was the first of four generations of medical doctors to practice in the Guntersville/Scottsboro vicinity. He was a resident of Columbus City, practicing his profession until 1898, then moved to Dry Cove near Woodville and practiced there until near the time of his death. Both he and Margaret are buried in the Union Cemetery at Woodville.

According to The Guntersville Democrate, Dr. John W. died suddenly at his home at Woodville on Mon. night Dec. 2, 1940 about ten o'clock of heart failure. His funeral was held at Woodville Methodist Church and burial in Union Cemetery. He was survived by his widow, two daus., Mrs. L. M. Murphee of West Blocton, Ala. and Mrs. C. T. Dawson of Birmingham; three sons: Oscar Boggess of Chattanooga, Wade Boggess of Norfolk, Va, and Dr. John W. Boggess Jr. of Guntersville. He also lefe one sister, Mrs. Lucinda Hogue of Flat Rock, and one brother J. I. Boggess of Carter, Okla.

"... He was a man of striking personality, warm, friendly and handsome in face and stature. In the sick room he brought a sort of moral assistance along with his surgery and medicine. He and his devoted and loving wife had known many years of good life with a fine family of children who honored and respected and loved them dearly. This writer has known Dr. Boggess to go out into freezing weather to visit some poor and humble home to minister to sick adults and children when he knew his work was full charity... Once we told him he gave away too much and he replied: 'A good doctor thinks of healing and relief, not of wealth.'

"Another strong rock in his life and character was his patriotism. We doubt if the country ever had a more loyal citizen than Doctor Boggess. He was intensely patriotic and never let an opportunity pass when he could offer his services to any cause for country's good or need. He never allowed anything to change his honest convictions and he carried religion deep in his heart and soul. When a great and good man, even though his walks may have been in the little hearalded places in national life, steps into the Valley of the shadow and then out on the far side with fifty years of humane service written to his credit in the Immortal Book, who can doubt but that his new life will be measured accordingly for all eternity?" - Guntersville Democrat "

Lycourgus Gross of Beaver County, OK purchased 160 acres of land in Section 5 of T1N-R22E on February 10, 1910.

The following was written by LaVona (Gross) Harris -- Lycourgus' daughter:

"Lycourgus Vernon (Curg) Gross came from Scottsboro, Alabama, to El Reno, Oklahoma where he was employed by the telephone company. From there he came to Beaver County in 1903, and filed four miles south and one mile west of the town of Balko.

In 1906 he was married to Minnie May Gregory of Elk City. The Gregorys had moved to Oklahoma from Missouri. Following their marriage, the young couple came to Beaver County to make their home on their claim.

The trip to their new home was made by covered wagon. The main highlight of the trip being the fording of the Canadian River. There was a wagon trail across the river, but in places just off the trail there was quicksand. When the river was up at a ??, the trail was very hard to follow. This was the condition of the river when Curg and Minnie started across. About half-way across they passed a wagon that had gone down in the quicksand. Only the tongue of the wagon was sticking up out of the water. The family had been rescued, but the unfortunate party had had to cut the horses loose form the wagon, and all their belongings had gone down. A very frightened young couple, with a prayer in their hearts, made their way on across the river.

When they got to their new home, which had been fully described by the young husband, dirt floor and all, Minnie could not believe her eyes! The twelve foot by fourteen foot dugout looked much smaller than her mind had pictured it. She knew they could never get all their belongings inside, but of course they managed.

Their life was filled with early day joys and hardships, but in a little while homesickness overcame the young bride. The dugout had one window and by climbing upon a chair she could look out across the lonely prairie. Minnie said she spent quite a bit of time at that window crying, wishing she could see her folks. There was no question as to whether or not she could go see them. The mode of travel was too slow, and there were no funds for trips.

As time passed a family was started, friendships developed, and church and other community activities filled their time. Neighbors were very dear. Each helped the other in times of need. Trails across the prairie between homesites were made by visiting neighbors. Taffy pullings were pleasant memories to many.

Work on the farm began very early in the morning, in order that all chores would be finished and field work could start as soon as it was light enough to see. They worked as long as they could see in the evening.

Curg and Minnie had nine children, eight daughters and one son. Their second daughter, Tessa passed away at the age of two. The other children are these: Dolleta, Davis, Perryton, Texas; Valena Maxwell; Zella Lile; LaVona Harris, Balko, OK; Lorena Johnson, Perryton, Texas; Opal Gray, Borger, Texas; Leroy Gross, Amarillo, TX; and Irene Anderson, Lomita, California.

Things went fairly well for the family, and a frame house had replaced the dugout. Then the depression and the dust storms came. The family moved from the homestead in 1936. Mr. Gross departed this life in 1946 and his wife in 1957."

Lycourgus Vernon Gross and Minnie May Gregory had the following children:
