On day after attending church, the Word of Wi s dom was the subject; he went home put his pipe on the mantle above th e fi replace, called Grandmothers attention, saying"Mother do you see tha t pip e?" When she replied, "yes," he said "I'm never going to touch it a gain. " He never did, it was still on the mantle when he died .

Sometime after Grandpa stopped smoking he went with Grandma to church, a n d a man sat beside him who smoked a pipe. When they reached home afte r th e service Grandpa said, "That man stunk. If I smelled like that Moth er, h ow did you ever live with me?- told by Venice Priddis


This story is in connection with Reese River, Austin, Nevada, where Gran d pa went to mine and work for awhile. Aunt Sadie said he had part intere s t in an undeveloped silver mine. But he and his partner had no means t o d evelop the mine so decided to sell it. Grandpa sold his share to hi s part ner before he left there, but did not receive all the money. He wa s to re ceive more when the partner had accomplished the sale. Time wen t on and h e did not hear from his partner again, and received no money . So Grandfat her decided to go on horseback back to Nevada to find out a bout it. Grand ma felt he shouldn't go. She felt forebodings of evil an d pleaded with hi m to stay home. But they needed money, so Grandfather w ent anyway. He rea ched the mountains and was going up the trail that le d to the mine, whe n suddenly his horse stopped dead still, refusing to b udge in inch. The m ore Grandpa tried to urge the horse on, the more firm ly it drove it's hoo ves into the dirt. Grandpa finally decided that dang er must lurk ahead. H e turned his horse about, went back down the trai l and came home. Grandmo ther told him she had prayed unceasingly for hi m while he was gone. Som e time later news reached Grandfather that his p artner had been found a t the mouth of the mine, dead. - As told by Venic e Priddis
