Notes:
He kept bees. Sold honey. Buried his money in jars around the yard. Nancy Whitaker Tate would go with him when he would go get his jar of money.
He would sit on front porch with a fan and visit with folks that came up the road. He kept a gallon jar of his "medicine" of rock candy and whiskey. He would take a sip when for medicinal purposes.
He would bake potatoes in the fireplace ashes and pop popcorn in the fireplace. This was a real treat for the grandchildren.
At Christmas, Nancy Whitaker Tate, his granddaughter, would wake up around 4 AM and go up to house. It was a game to see who was going to wake up first. He was always up when NWT got there. His nickname for her was "Shikepoke."
She spent most of her time with them as a child that she had her own bedroom with a feather mattress.
He would ride his horse and Nancy Whitaker Tate would ride double with him, hanging on the back. She was sent to get the horse, because it would run away if someone else rather than NWT came to get him. He was a brown sorrel horse named Doc. Scared of cars, and he would run away. Nancy Whitaker Tate would ride with no saddle or bridle. If a car came, he would stop and not run if she was on him. Nancy Whitaker Tate was a not yet in school. She would take him to a fence, and he would stand still until she would climb the fence and get on him, Then off the would go. He was used for riding to the mill and the store.
He met his first wife on Whitaker Ridge
