COUNTY, NEW MEXICO | ||
| BUEL R. WOOD an attorney of
Carrizozo, practicing as a member of the firm of Askern & Wood, is one
of the quota of citizens that South Dakota has furnished to New
Mexico. He was born in Rapid City of the former state on teh 11th of
June, 1888, his parents being Chauncey L. and Ruth (Robison) Wood.
The father was also an attorney, devoting his entire life to the practice
of law but both he and his wife are now deceased. Buel R. Wood was educated in the Benedictine Monastery at Conception, Missouri, and afterward attended the University of South Dakota at Vermilion, being graduated from the latter institution with the class of 1910. Having prepared for the bar, he engaged in practice as a trial lawyer, being connected with his father's office. He left South Dakota, however, in 1911 and went to Chicago where he remained for nine months. On the expiration of that period he came to New Mexico, settling at Carrizozo and two years ago entered into his present partnership relation as a member of the firm of Askers & Wood. They are meeting with good success, their clientage growing with the settlement and development of this part of the state. Mr. Wood is a conscientious and painstaking lawyer, carefully preparing his cases and the strength of his argument has won for him many favorable verdicts. In December, 1911, Mr. Wood was married to Miss Lillian Church, a daughter of Milo Church, and during their residence in Carrizozo they have gained many warm friends, the hospitality of the best homes being freely accorded them. In religious faith Mr. Wood is a Protestant but his political belief is interested in mining but concentrates his attention chiefly upon his professional duties and already has achieved a position of prominence that many an older lawyer might well envy. |
