  1. Felix and Rose, Willow Springs, Missouri, in the Ozarks, celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary on October 6, 1987. Felix, who was born and reared in Cherokee Nation, Indian territory near the current home of the Cherokee Nation, Tahlequah, Oklahoma, will be 96 years old on July 26, 1988. Felix is Cherokee. His wife, Rose, who is of Swedish pioneer heritage, met and married her husband at age 17. They had 10 children, and in 1987 had 65 grandchildren and many great grandchildren, and at least one great, great, grandchild. Felix had many careers over the decades, from farming to owning and operating a coal mine in Oklahoma. Like many other 'Okies,' during the first quarter of the century, the Twists migrated out of the Dust Bowl to Corpus Christi, Texas, where they lived for many years. Although retired, the Twists are still very active and put out a large garden behind their small, white frame house every year. Rose cans and preserves most of their home grown vegetables and still prepares the meals each day for her husband of three quarters of a century. Felix when asked to what he attributes his long life, long marriage and good health, with a twinkle in his eye replied: 'Get yourself a good wife and be careful where you step.' Rose when asked the same question replied: 'We had no time to fight. We raised our children through the depression, and most of our time was taken up in just meeting day to day necessities.
