Biography

Guy Cross was the third son of Phillip Cross and Martha (Harper) Cross born 24 Mar 1891 in Justin, Denton Co., TX. Phillip “Mann” Cross died 23 Aug 1896. Martha Harper married Thomas Mikeul “Mike” Andes on 6 Oct 1895 before Phillip Cross died indicating that Martha and Phillip likely divorced sometime after Guy was born. Mike Andes moved the family to Indian Territory sometime before the 1900 census was taken 18 Jun 1900.

The 1900 Census for Garvin, Chickasas Nation, Indian Territory, lists Guy Cross (age 9 and b. Mar 1891 in TX) living in the household of Thomas Andes (b. May 1868 in TN). This is probably about the time Guy dropped out of school (when he was in the third grade) to work picking cotton to help support the family.

1900 Census

According to stories that Guy Cross told to his family, he rode horseback about 400 miles from Indian Territory to New Mexico by himself. His mother and other members of her family had already moved to New Mexico to homestead in western Roosevelt County, but Guy stayed behind with his 'Uncle John' Harper to help him take care of his horses. The family sent him instructions on how to get from ranch to ranch on the route. At the age of 14, he set out on a half-broken horse armed with food and a pistol which he used to kill a wolf on the way.

Guy worked on a bridge building crew for the railroad in Carlsbad, Eddy Co., NM in 1909. On 15 Apr 1910, Guy lived at Lykins, Roosevelt Co., NM.

In May 1910 Guy (age 20) was listed as a stepson in the household of Mike T, Andes in Pearson Pct. of Roosevelt Co., NM in the 1910 census.

1910 Census

When he came of age (about 1911), Guy homesteaded in western Roosevelt Co., NM a few miles from where his stepfather 'Mike' Andes had earlier homesteaded. His 'Uncle John' Harper also homesteaded in the same area. (Guy and his siblings later inherited land from their 'Uncle John', a bachelor, who died in 1924.)

On 15 Oct 1911, from Estelline, TX, Guy wrote a card to Ruth Woodward in Katie, OK. "Dear Ruth, You can imagine how I am enjoying myself picking cotton every day went to a party last night it was fun Wish I had of been there to of went to the meetings with you. Write me a letter when you get time. Guy" He was still living in Estelline on 7 Nov 1911.

On 19 Jun 1912 , Guy borrowed $300 In Portales, NM using his 160 acres of land as collateral. On 20 Jun 1912 Guy was fireman on a train crew in Portales. Then, by 6 Aug 1913 he was working in a copper mine in Morenci AZ. He wrote a post card to his mother "Dear Ma & All, I will drop you a few lines to let you know I got work, went to work yesterday on the bull gang. Am geting 2.48 for eight hours. We are batching with Rosie and Ellis. Will write letter next time. Guy". He was in Morenci until after 25 Sep 1913. Then he moved to Hurley, NM by 2 Oct 1913 where he worked in the copper mine there. Guy stated that he and his brother Lee worked in the copper mines and sent money home to help support their family.

Guy married Ruthie Pauline Woodward in Katie, Murray Co., OK on 16 Oct 1914. They returned to NM where she gave birth to a baby boy in 1916. The baby died at birth and was not named. Then on 10 Apr 1917 Guy and Ruth had a daughter (Vera Dolphene Cross) born. Guy made two purchases of land from the Land office in Fort Sumner , NM. on 14 Jul 1919. Patent #698256 was for 320 acres and Patent #698257 was for 335 and 74/100 acres.

Guy was listed as the head of a family on the 1920 census in Roosevelt Co., NM. The following individuals are also linked to this event: Vera Cross (daughter, age 3 4/12); and Ruthie P. Cross (wife, age 25).

1920 Census

On 13 Nov 1920 Guy received a post card from his wife Ruth from El Reno, OK with a picture of the El Reno Sanitarium. "Sat. Just thru dinner have sit up all morn feel good only light headed Aim to try to walk around tomorrow aim to lay down awhile & then sit up again I want you all to write tomorrow my back gets tired sitting up haven't saw Dr A- since yesterday morn - aim to ask when I can come home next time I see him these days sure are long as bad as I want to see my baby love to all & kiss my kid as ever wife mother D.P. S. P. A."

Guy was listed as the head of a family on the 1930 census in Portales, Roosevelt Co., NM. The following individuals are also linked to this event: Vera Cross (daughter, age 12); and Ruth Cross (wife, age 34). Ruth Cross died 23 Mar 1936 in Portales at 39 years of age. One of Ruth's nurses was widow Hagabelle Marshall. She and Guy later married on 10 Jun 1939 in Carlsbad, NM.

Included in the household are wife, Hagabelle Cross (age 39 and b. in TX), and stepson, Wayne Marshall (age 16 and b. in NM). Guy gave his occupation as a livestock dealer. Guy and Belle moved to his ranch in western Roosevelt Co., NM about 1941. Their son Harold Cross was born on Christmas day, 1941 in Portales. The family remained on the ranch until 1951 when Guy bought 10 acres of irrigated land at the edge of Portales. He moved the family to back to Portales where he ran a few cattle and traveled back and for to care for cattle on the ranch.
