Powell cousins

These Powell's were my dad's first cousins so I believe they are our second cousins.
This Powell was know by his initials. He is dead now and so he can't object if I tell this story. He probably wouldn't if he was alive.
This Powell kept a whiskey bottle under his pick up seat and imbibed on it as the day went by. One day he went to a sale ring in Oklahoma and took 3 knot headed steers with him to market.
The next day he called his brother John and said while I was at the sale I bought 3 steers. I need you to help me unload them brother came right away and helped his brother, as they unloaded the steers John said, you know I think this is the 3 steers you hauled off yesterday. Cousin walked around and studied the steers and said I believer you are correct!
These Powell were know as the rich cousins but this proves you don't have to be smart to be rich.
