A TOUGH OLD COWBOY FROM THE YAMPA VALLEY OF COLORADO COUNSELED HIS GRANDSON THAT IF HE WANTED TO LIVE A LONG LIFE, THE SECRET WAS TO SPRINKLE A PINCH OF GUN POWDER ON HIS OATMEAL EVERY MORNING. THE GRANDSON DID SO RELIGIOUSLY TO THE AGE OF 103 WHEN HE FINALLY DIED.
HE LEFT BEHIND 14 CHILDREN, 30 GRANDCHILDREN, 45 GREAT-GRAND-CHILDREN, 25 GREAT-GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, AND A 15-FOOT-HOLE WHERE THE CREMATORIUM USED TO BE. |
