Woodman Okey moved West in 1865 and he spent several months in Benton County, Iowa where it is thought he had some family. He moved back to Ohio the summer of 1866. He lived with his sister, Catherine Okey Brister, in later years. He used a great deal of profanity and he used to say of his wife, 'Her name was Doolittle and be-jesus she did little.' Uncle Wood would sit on the porch at Bristers and rock with his Bible on his knee and use every cuss word in the book. If one of the children got too close to him, he would reach out and rap us across the head with his Bible. He was a salty old man and one of the most disagreeable that ever lived.
