hard hat with a light attached in the front.  Around 1933 he

seizures.  He then became a lumberjack working mainly by
himself.  Occasionally he would take his daughter Pauline with
him on a sleigh pulled by oxen.  He liked taking a nip now and
then on weekends and he would become very jolly.  In the
mornings he would be the first person up and would start up the
