Shared note	He and Della Mae, leaving her three children with Oren & Elsie MILLER were married ( as best I can learn, by a Justice of the Peace in Farwell, Texas.) Therman HARRIS tells us many interesting stories about the early times in his book "TALL TALES OF NEW MEXICO FOR THE GRANDCHILDREN" He tells of how Albert was for a short time a cowboy on the Chisum ranch at Roswell, later became foreman of the C. F. Doughton Ranch, with headquarters on the old Schrum place about 13 miles northwest of Melrose. Therman states " He courted our mother in our home for the most part, coming more and more often during the year of 1913. He was a handyman, repairing our shoes like a professional, and repairing buildings and fences about the place. We were very fond of him . "They moved to the Doughton Ranch where they lived for the next several years. Therman tells of how, Mr. Doughton decided to move his heard to "greener pastures." He had fought the battles of drought of eastern New Mexico long enough. Some government land, in the mountains between Santa Fe & Albuquerque, could be leased for practically a "song ". Albert and his father John Overton WADE had accumulated a small herd of a hundred head or so, and Albert accepted Frank Doughton's offer to continue as his foreman. They added the WADE herd to the five or six hundred of Doughton's cattle. His Description of the trail drive is typical of the old west. They took them to an area near Santa Domingo, the post office was Pena Blanca. This ranching venture in the mountains was a complete failure. The cattle taken from the plains near Melrose did not adjust to the drastic change. Many of them, especially the calves froze to death, many were stolen and lost, and some killed by predatory mountain animals, and to add to this, the bottom fell out of the cattle market. They rounded up from the large mountain area all of the Doughton-Wade heard possible, and ended this venture. They moved back to the Harris homestead where he farmed until his death in 1952.
