After Zoa Belle (Mom) died, Grandpa came to Cannelton to live with us. He
was a great help when Mother (Mary Agnes) had a second bout with
rheumatic fever. He did the washing and ironing and he and Mary Frances
did the cooking. David said it was a chore to eat Mary Frances' biscuits.
David tells of the time he and Grandpa were in the basement and Daddy
came down to complain that his shirt collars were too heavily starched.
Grandpa slowly replied, "Well, Leo, if you don't like the way they are
done I guess you can do a little work around here by doing it yourself."
(And David thought "Go! Grandpa!!!)
One day when Jack was about three and playing happily on the floor,
Grandpa decided to go "over in town" but did not just leave. He announced
to Jack that he was going to do so. Of course, Jack said, "Can I go,
too?" and Grandpa answered, "No, you can't go along" and left. In
consternation, Jack (whose temper tantrums manifested themselves by his
banging his head on the wall) went to the three glass paned front door,
hit his head against one panel and broke the glass!
