  MARRIAGE	Between Dec 1953 and Jan 1954	Pecos, Reeves, Texas, USA   [50]
  	Remarriage of Rena and Herbert; they continued to celebrate 29 July as their anniversary.
  	Remarriage of Rena and Herbert; they continued to celebrate 29 July as their anniverfsary. It should be noted that growing up, they both maintained that they had "run off to Pecos, Texas" three days agter mother turned 16 go get married. I searched for years for a record of this event with no success. Imagine my surprise when I found the Carlsbad Current-Arfgus announsement of their wedding in 1941 where they were married in Hobbs, with mother's parents, and father's mother & siste (and possibly his step-father) in attendance. ~ Ashleigh Mitchell

• Notes

  Written by: Ashleigh Rene Mitchell; August 16, 2000: Dad worked as an equipment operator for the mining industry; he was a hoistman for US Potash in Carlsbad NM until they closed, then went to work for US Borax in Boron CA, spent a year as a hoistman at the Mercury Test Site (atomics) in Nevada and returned to US Borax in August 1969. He was injured on the job while training a new truck driver, and was off work for over a year, went back to work, and was hit by a truck on his way home, which injured him severely enough that he was unable to work after that. A confirmed smoker, he once used a three-foot long cigarette holder as his doctor had told him to get as far away from them as he could; he smoked until his death, although mother was in denial of it following his heart attack (he did cut back from 2+ packs a day to under 1, but was never able to completely quit.)
