    Strong man, short.

    Could hold two sledge hammers out horizontle by the handle for a minute

    Knew tricks like lifting someone up by the forehead. Straight as a poker. Would stick fingers in his lower jaw. Give himself leverage.

    Know one could tell.

    Lay on your stomach.



    Falling flat on his face.

    He'd put his hands behind his back and fall forward. He'd stick out his stomach and this would make him go like a rocker.



    Zella would say that Harry would put the pipes in the tops of the silos. He'd walk around without a rope and didn't mind it a bit.



    Picking rocks Harry and Eldon and Charlie (hired man).

    Eating lunch and an airplane flew over.

    Eldon says "Charlie! Stop chewing! I want to hear the airplane!"



    Granpa and Charlie were good friends.

    Charlie says "Harry, I think a man should always think twice before they say anything."

    Charlie stuffed his pipe in his pocket and his pants started to smoke.

    Harry says "Charlie, I think"

    "Charlie, I think your pants are on fire"

    That was about the same time as Charlie found out for himself.



    Charlie came into the kitchen and Lottie was getting supper on.

    The twins were running around.

    Charlie said. "Lottie, did you raise them by hand or suck them yourself?"
