For many years he hauled extract wood across the Blue Ridge mountains through all kinds of weather conditions and many times slept out in the open under the stars wherever he happened to stop on account of darkness. Up to a few months ago, he put in a full days work on his farm every day. Many of his neighbors attest the fact that it took a good man to keep up with him.
