This is a picture of the John H. Wood family, one-time residents of the Talisheek area, where Mr. Wood operated a large general merchandise store. He also had a sawmill at Sun, several miles up the road. His son Robert later purchased the store and operated it for 36 years, retiring in 1947, when he sold out to a nephew, Dudley R. Pitt, Sr.
Robert Wood was also postmaster at Talisheek from 1931 to 1955, when he retired. He died in November of 1965.
Left to right, seated, are Hannah Mary Pitt, Maude Thompson, Christine Hyde (daughter of Maude), Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, and Vera Louise Wood Beauchamp ( as a baby on her mother's lap). Standing from left are Robert, George, Katie Hiett and Captain Leonidas Wood.
