Comment: May 18, 1882 to September 21 1964, 82 years old.....a life that seems to have been well lived. Large family, mostly loving, respected by the community, sold Hubbard Hill to my father for $1.00, developed mechanical and electrical devices for the farm, always a hard worker. I remember him opposite me on an old Case baler on a very hot summer day. I was pushing the wires through separating the bales and he was tying them together on the other side. We both were sweating profusely and both were covered in hay seed and dust...he must have been in his mid seventies at the time....here are he and I when I was about fourteen and he about 70...
