lowed farming for nearly sixty
years.
His "reminiscences Of as and so
years ago were always interesting.
He often told friends how they lived
back in those days and made a COM
parisOn with present-day living. He
knew what 1t was to get one pair Of
shoes or boots once each year, at
Christmas time, and go barefoOted
from early in the spring until late
in the fall. He used to help his mo-
ther mold candles for light, operate
the spinning wheel, cord the wool,
clean the fax for the fustians and
home-spuns, attend to the grazing
sheep like a shepherd boy. AS a boy,
he got but three months "schOolin' e"
at the little red schoolhOuse in the
neighborhOOd, and this was when all
farm work was done and the win
ter's wood had been cut and hauled
to supply the fireplace for heat and

were tough days, but withal the boys
and girls had a good time and we're
robust.
