Below is a story titled "my dad" that was shared on Ancestry.com
My greatest memories involve shiny car hoods and his greatest love horses, we use to go riding together on Sunday morning that's when he would tell me about his live growing up in Fort Dodge Iowa.
When he and his brother Bob would relieve the bootleggers of there spirits jump the train for Waterloo to sell it. Thats how he meet my mother Mary SPOONER. Once he caught her off guard talked her in to giving her check to him to cash. He took her check and his and went to the saddle shop and bought a brand new saddle. That night for supper he was given a plate and cup full of hay. You can bet he never got her check again.
Not growing up with much of a family life because his mother Elizabeth Cahill died very young in child birth, My dad made sure when the Bull show came to town all kids in the family who's parents would let them went. He would spend his last penny for kids. He also made sure we always got together with all my mothers family for picnics fishing.
When I enlisted in service live changed for him, do to him not being able to take care of the horse's any longer, we sold them and had a going away party for them and me. We damn near burnt the barn down we did lose 300 bales of hay.
Thats also the night I learned of the horrors of War my father lived with. Scarred the hell out of me. I never got the opportunity to talk about this with him, I left for service a few days later my self.
The next time I seen him I had lived it myself. Unfortunately we never had that experience.
My next visit came after a dream I had, I was overseas when the news game I had lost the greatest person in my live at the ripe young age of fifty same age of his father and his fathers father.
I find my self missing him more after these 35 years than the first. I know he is still here taking care of us all.
I would sure like to here the rest of the story about how are great great grand father rode with the JAMES GANG, and YOUNGERS.
