• Notes

  MY (SYLVIA PAYNE WILLIAMS) FATHER WAS A HARD WORKING FARMER. WHEN HE WAS RAISING THE FAMILY (FOUR BOYS AND FIVE GIRLS) HE DID THE FARMING WITH HORSES. AFTER WALKING BEHIND THE PLOW OR LISTER FOR SEVERAL HOURS, WHICH WAS TIRING WORK, HE ALWAYS TOOK TIME TO PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN, HE LOVED TO PLAY THE VIOLIN FOR THEM. HE ALSO PLAYED THE VIOLIN FOR DANCES. FATHER ALSO WENT INTO THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS IN CULBERTSON, NE. BEFORE RETIRING. I (NEIL) REMEMBER GRANDFATHER WILLIAM PLAYING THE VIOLIN IN 1950 WHEN I VISITED HIM IN HIS HOME IN CALIFORNIA. HE WAS BLIND AT THE TIME BUT HE REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING.
