Relative Of John .. Rockefeller Tells
of the Good Traits He Possessed

behavior Of her husband"
1t was Richard Rockefeller, cousin
declaration. He resides on farm
near Neville, 20 miles southeast OF
Sioux City.
John was different from the other
boys" he continued. "He did not
seem to relish our sports. Instead Of
joining us in swimming and like ex.
petitions he would remain at home
performing chores OF various kinds
\ or helping his mother about her
household duties. There was one
trait particularly noticeable in him
and that was his disposition to trade

jack-knife to horse that John
might happen to have was open to
trade. He seemed to have a mania

rent at the time the trade was made.
but future developments always
showed the wisdom of Johns course.
But I'll say this for John. He was
always bonest--or at least no one
ever charged him with being dishon-
est. His parents we're Presbyterians.
or rather his mother was, and John
was regular church.goer. He seem.
ed to take everything seriously, and
didn't become very popular with 9th,
er boys. They respected him, but
didn't enjoy his company"
Richard Rockefeller is perfect
image of John D., save for goatee.
He has ever been noted for honesty
and public spirit. There was time.
years ago, when he was about to lose
his farm by foreclosure of a mort.
gage when his crops failed. But he
and his estimable wife worked until
they paid off the mortgage and they
now find themselves owners of an
excellent farm and first class i'm.
proyements. In their direst need
they never asked for nor received a
cent from their wealthy relative.
Mrs. Rockefeller has an accurate
recollection of John D. and his father
as her husband,
William Rockefeller. Johns fatb
er,' said she, was a big fellow. sui.
len and ugly. Although he was given
to laughter and songs much of the
time, particularly the latter his an.
pearance was so terrifying to the
average woman that they gave him

generally coarse.
