      Chapter 1 My Favorite Uncle Dan

      Of the eleven siblings Dan was number six. Three of which had died so doing the math eight lived to adulthood.

      While recounting this story about my Uncle Dan, in order to help understand some of the things that happened later - - I find myself involved more than intended.

      In 1935 I was living in Cliffside North Carolina in a cotton mill town. The mill owned most of the homes in the area and rented them out to the employees.

      It was a nice place to live compared to what we were used to. It had an electric socket in the center of each room to which a light bulb and electric cords were attached to. From there they were cords plugged into all the appliances such as toasters, radios and when they were all turned on they blew a fuse.

      (It was common for people to place a penny into the fuse box when the fuse blew and was cause of several homes to be burned because they overrode the fuse protection.)

      Overhead there were cords running everywhere from the light sockets to appliances.

      The bathroom facilities amounted to an outhouse which was only about forty feet away.

      Our bathtub was a galvanized wash tub that had many functions from bathing, washing clothes and soaking your feet.

      Getting back to Uncle Dan; he came to visit my family along with some of the other members of our clan.

      As a young child I must have seen him at the old home place but I didn't remember him. I was about 5 years old and though Uncle Dan was only 15 he looked like a big
