Raymond became the sole owner and operator of the farm in 1929 when Howard and Kathryn moved to Victoria. Raymond did not add to the existing buildings but made some changes. An accidental fire burned the hen house in 1935. He had Dell Palmer move the kitchen part of the house in 1940 to a lot next to Rex Dawson’s house for a hired man’s residence. Roy and Minerva MacKenzie and their three sons Jack, Ray, and Bobby resided in this house, then Willy Stordy, before the Kohouts bought the house. Roy worked for Raymond, while Willy and Frank Kohout worked for the Tryon Dairying Company. Frank and Wilda Kohout lived in the house until 1958 when it was destroyed by fire.

Some changes had to be made to the main Wood house after the kitchen was moved. The existing pantry was enlarged to made a modern kitchen, and a porch was added to cover the plumbing system. Renova- tions were made to the upstairs rooms over the kitchen and dining room in 1959. An apartment was added for son, George, and his bride, Ione Wright. George joined Raymond on the family farm for several years, then entered the plumbing profession. Raymond continued to farm but gradually decreased his activities until he sold the farm land to Myron Dawson in 1969 and retired from active farming. The buildings gradu- ally deteriorated and had to be torn down. The lumber from the main barn was used to build a sugar house in the maple grove to house the evaporator for boiling off the sap to the syrup stage. The shed and the piggery disappeared. The only out buildings left in 1988 were the horse barn and a chicken house. Raymond’s son, Garth, now owns the property.

Adelaide met Raymond when she returned to Tryon to teach school. She had graduated from the University of Manitoba with a BA. Follow- ing their marriage, Adelaide helped on the farm and looked after their children, later returning to teaching. She taught English and French at Englewood High School until she retired in 1971. Raymond and Adelaide enlarged their maple syrup business at that time. They were members of the Tryon United Baptist Church and Adelaide is a Life
