From Tales & Trails of Bailey County, the First 70 Years, Taylor Publishing Co, Dallas, TX 1988
Baye and Gladys Wilson moved to Bailey County in December, 1943 with their four children, Marieta, Nelda Jo, Gordon and Stanley. They moved from Lipan, Texas in Hood County to the James St. Clair farm in Bailey County. While there, four more children blessed their home. Roger, Jan, Dianne and Mickey were all delivered by Dr. L.T. Green.
In December, 1949 they bought 40 acres in Muleshoe located behind the old Corral Drive Inn Restaurant. The family all helped with the cows and pigs and Gladys tended the 500 caged hens. Baye purchased a house moving truck and pump rig for him and the boys. The office was on the lot that is now Thriftway.
Their lives were again blessed with a last child. Cathy was a special child, she was born with cerebral palsy.
Dairy barns were built and all the family helped with this for several years. They bought a little grocery store and several rent houses on the Clovis highway. Baye, Stanley and Mickey ran a drilling rig until Baye died at work in 1965 at the age of 59 years. Stanley took over Wilson Drilling. Gladys ran the grocery store for a year and then went to work at Anthonys' in April, 1966 where she is still working part time.
