"I remember the road before it was paved and when it snowed you could not drive up snow hill. We had a syrup mill, some line shacks, wagon and mules, and [the] remains of an Indian reservation on the property. We did not have to plow very long and we would find pottery and arrowheads, many of which were given to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. Profs from Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ had diggings on the property. Our land was the on the school boundary line so I attended two schools. Timpson and Center.

I remember going to cake walks in the Masonic Lodge and the Crawford Store which had the Gas Container on top that I never did understand. There was a man by the name of Shorty that walked to town and back every day."
