There's not really much to tell about him. He was born in 1896 and died in 1965. He never owned a car, truck or tractor. He married and had one daughter who was my mother-in-law. He farmed with a team and never worked an outside job, except for during the prohibition era when he was involved with bootleg whiskey. I have an old newspaper clipping about him being arrested for violating the Volstead Act. I didn't know him well when I was a kid, and to be honest, I was kinda scared of him - he was a big guy with a no-nonsense attitude and there were many stories about him being a rough character when he was young. I gave him a wide berth. The old timers said that he always had a fancy black high stepping team. The family did not live a privileged life, but they had a comfortable home and plenty to eat. On rainy days he would straighten bent nails and pitch them in a bucket. He made his own tool handles, gambrel sticks and single/double trees. He set homemade hoop nets and turtle traps in the creek, trapped in the winter and hunted with hounds. He knew how to stretch a dollar. He was just a pretty ordinary guy in this community, except for never owning an internal combustion engine. He's the man on the right in this picture.
