4      106.      Terry ‘Ted’ Mays George

b. December 18, 1890, Upland, Franklin co., Nebraska. Migrated with his parents to Cass co., Iowa in 1896 when he was just a lad. Grew to manhood on the family farm near Wiota. Terry went by the name "Ted" and he and his half brother Robert "Earl" were very close. Earl has a drug store in St. Anthony, Iowa; and Ted went to work there and learn the pharmacy trade. He lived with his brother at that time.

Grace Dailey was a nurse who worked for a doctor in Linn Grove, a small town nearby. It was in the spring of 1916 that they were married, April 17, at Primghar, Iowa. She was b. September 4, 1890 at Alta, Iowa;, the daughter of Francis W. & Anna (Mangold) Dailey. After the marriage Ted & his bride moved back to Wiota where they had a drug store until 1919 at which time he returned to work at His brother store until 1926 when Earl purchased another store in Laurens and the two separated the ownership between the two stores.

Ted’s physical description would be different then his fathers as he was tall and very dark. He and his sister Mae had high cheek bones, and there was speculation there may be some Indian ancestry, perhaps from the Reed family. Ted was the tallest in every family group picture and was exceptionally strong. There was a story of his pulling the old fire truck and of his athletic prowness.

Grace d. of cancer June 5, 1958. Terry "Ted" lived to be 78 years old, he d. July 6, 1968. Both are buried at Lone Tree cemetery, Sioux Rapids, Iowa.
