His childhood memories are very wonderful. His home was surrounded by tall trees which branched together and almost made a roof over his home. In each corner of the lot was a different kind of fruit tree. In front was a tree that had been grafted and it had both red and white apples on it. They always had a big garden, which was surrounded on all sides by a ditch. There was a cellar with a sandstone floor in it. In one corner of the cellar was a spring and a little ditch ran all around the sandstone floor. His mother always grew beautiful flowers.
