I buried Jem there four years ago. He too, suffered a snakebite along the same creek bottom, but survived and lived to the ripe old age of 14. Spot and Ruth and Ace — all of them go...

Carol Jean Young was 13 years old when a life-changing accident occurred. The date was November 8th of 1950, when Carol was at her farmhouse in Wagner with her stepbrother Wilbur (30 years), her brother Dannie (10 years), and her sister Donna (6 years). Wilbur had been lifting a pail of fuel oil to the top of the stove to put more into it. The pail caught against the hot stove and spilled. Immediately the burning fuel was dripping down onto the floor and the fuel had caught on fire, as the Young family started towards the door. While running...
