Whether or not he feared hei ghts, it was he who was always delegated to do the jobs which required cli mbing to high spots. Not only was he devoted to his own family, he was mo re than generous with others as well. He was particularly fond of hors es and often showed his teams at the fall fairs, sometimes winning prize s; a large prize-winning cup held an honored position in their home as tes timony.
