Chas. Wood, familiarly known as "Joe" Wood, came here about the time the
Whetstone agency was established. He lived opposite the Mulehead for some
years and in the seventies moved to his present home six miles south of
Geddes. His name appears on the ticket in 1880 for constable, but he has 
had little to do with politics. His wife was a Yankton Sioux and he was
probably the first in the county to probate inherited Indian land.
