...."Grandpa told me once that he could still see clearly the
face of Uncle Clarence, his first child, but none of the others. His first wife, my real grandmother, was said to be part Indian and as mean as the Devil. When she died Grandpa married Sally Baker, already mentioned with her 5 kids. They had the two boys, Joe and Henry, and right about then my sister, Annie, and I came along. Mother liked her Stepmother real well, even naming me for her--and Grandpa. We four kids all near the same age really had fun. My mother having died we too seemed to be at Grandpa's a lot. As I may have already said Joe and I even slept at the foot of the bed of Grandpa."
