My brother went to work for wages when he was 14 years old. He quite school at the 8 grade and soon was working for Frank Sydney milking cows. He always did farm work except for a few weeks after he married when he worked for Tyson Foods.
In 1988 there about he was able to acquire a piece of land for him and his wife. There he grew chickens and beef cattle.Richard had a good life. He worked out in the sun and never had to live under someone Else's thumb. He had a good wife who did everything she could to make his life comfortable. Richard and Barbara had 4 children who are a credit to their parents. never in trouble at least not of their own making. I dread today and will be glad when it is over.

Did he sleep in the barn when he worked for Frank. I remember him
telling me he walked there to get a job.
A sad time. Prayers for all of you.
Dear Patsy, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It does sound like he had a very full and wonderful life doing what he loved best. My prayers are with you and the family. xox
