About that time Andalusia began to

fun for me to get in there with skin.
while father was running the ferry
and living in the house he had built.
Alfred Bing and wife came along on
horseback. They had just been mar

with the country. They stopped in Buff
falo. where Mrs Bing had an aunt: and
built dwelling house and Mr.. Bing
taught school-and did everything.
My first going to school was done at
Greenbush. and Mr. Bling taught. There
was John Kenworthy and the two Gar
