Notes:

They moved onto the Allen Ranch south of Pecos, remodeled the old house, and went to work for Mr. Tubb at the princely salary of $40 a month. Overnight Marjorie had to learn to ride a horse, help fix fences and windmills, milk a cow, clean coal oil lamps, cope with a wood stove and many other unknown and unheard of things. Two years later they became partners with Mr. Tubb in the T Bar Ranch seventeen miles north of Kermit and remodeled another old ranch house. Frank continued to come to Ward County to help with ranchwork especially with the round-ups which took 30 days in Spring and 30 days in the Fall. Ranching then was a different story than at present times. Not many pickups were used as they had a bad habit of getting stuck in the sand. Mr. Tubb's various ranches had more than 50 windmills to be looked after and with a permanent crew of from 5 to 7 men and 15 to 22 when they worked cattle it required a herd of 100 horses. Chuckwagons were still quite necessary and you went to your windmills on horseback or a wagon and team. There were no oil field roads and no caliche roads north of Highway 80. It was many years before they could afford to eat their own beef but they lived very well on plenty of beans, cornbread, home-cured bacon and hams. In those days there were lots of hogs running in the sandhills and Mr. Tubb had plenty of pork to cure every year. Day old chicks were a penny each so every year they raised one hundred to two hundred fryers so when there were 15 to 18 to feed at cattleworking time or when unexpected company drove up (and they were usually unexpected as very few ranches had electricity or gas, let alone a telephone) you could always run out and wring a few necks and with plenty of biscuits no one ever complained. As they were allowed only $22 a month groceries Frank didn't complain either, though he's not very fond of chicken nowadays

Marjorie drove their son, Jess, 17 miles to school in Kermit for two years then ten miles to Jal till he was old enough to drive to school in Wink, where he completed his high school education. As Frank began to divide his time half and half between the T Bar and Mr. Tubb's 5 ranches it became necessary to move closer to this half of his work. They leased the China Ranch north of Monahans from Mr. Tubb and Sealy-Smith Foundation and remodeled another old ranch house

They remained partners with Mr. Tubb until his death in November 1954. The school bus driving started all over again for Marjorie as their daughter Linda Lea started school in the Fall of 1955 in Monahans and completed her education there and graduating from Angelo State University in 1971. In 1964 Jess took over the China Ranch and Frank and Marjorie happily retired to a smaller ranch, the Libby Edwards Ranch, 3 miles south of Monahans where they built their first permanent home. They are enjoying their semi-retirement and Frank divides his time between the ranch here and the Jal Ranch (The Old Beckham Ranch) and helping the grandchildren run their cattle on the old ranch across the river where the grandparents first started out......" Frank and Marjorie were married in Pecos, TX. then moved to the Allen (Place) Ranch located south of Pecos. They later moved to the T Bar Ranch in Winkler Co., near Kermit, TX. China Ranch, located on the Sealy-Smith Foundation property, was their next living quarters. China Ranch is located north of Monahans, TX., east of State Highway 18. It was after their stay at China Ranch that they purchased the Libby Edwards Ranch, south of Monahans. Frank was a cowman (not cowboy)

He knew his cattle. He raised white face herefords only until about 1980 when he realized that cross-bred cattle were bringing more per pound at the markets. His grandsons showed some cross bred cattle at the Ward Co. 4-H Stock Show and won with these cattle. Frank began to cross some of his white face at that time. Even though he went through a heart by-pass operation and had cataracts pretty bad, that did not deter his ability to operate his ranch and get around his old ranching grounds. He assisted many people in Ward County when there was a need. He built a house for his mother near the ranch house in Monahans when she became invalid. He participated with the Men's Bible Class, and was one of the organizers of this class, in Monahans. They first met in the Board Room of 1st National Bank and then later moved to the Ward County Community Center. The Bible Class assisted many in the community who were in need.
