  • Notes 
    • When he was three years old, he was riding on a load of logs when the load shifted. He fell down through the load and was injured so badly that "they had to carry him around on a pillow" for some time. Apparently he recovered fairly well, because he lived a long life as a farmer. One ear was so badly damaged that he turned his head slightly when photographed. A family member said this picture is reversed, because the damaged ear was the left one.
