Individual:
This is my Grandfather. I must say that he is the most important man and the most influential person in my life. He was honest, loving, hardworking, and kind. He was a respecter of women and of people in general. He was VERY opinionated about politics and I don't believe that he ever changed his mind about something once it was made up. He could be a hard disciplinarian, he had very high standards of behavior. He expected to be obeyed. First and foremost, he was a gentleman. He loved my Grandmother and he loved his children and grandchildren. I don't believe that he ever had an evil thought. He was a truly good man.
When we went to Nixon Chapel for Decoration in 1998, a friend of the family who had known Granddaddy for all of his life, told several stories. One of those happened when his father died and it was winter. He was quite young, maybe only 8, and he was cutting wood. That was a back breaking job for a grown man, but near impossible for an 8 year old. Granddaddy was coming by on his way home and saw him. Granddaddy offered to help and continued to do this for many years. When Granddaddy was being buried, this man said that his best friend had died.
Another story that he told was a time when Granddaddy had bought a new denim jacket. He worked at the cotton mill at that time. Somehow his coat got caught in the mechanism that pushed the cotton down into a bundle and started to pull Granddaddy into the machine. Granddaddy caught a bar and held on for his life. The gin pulled the jacket off him by the seams. Every seam in the jacket gave away. The next day Granddaddy took the jacket back to the store and said, "By God, I guess I'll have to buy another new jacket" and proceeded to tell the store owner what happened. The store owner said, "Lowell you can't buy a new jacket, I'll replace this one. Anyone who can survive that deserves a new jacket." No one is quite sure how Granddaddy survived.
Another story went around that some boys had cut down some trees and blocked the road as a prank. All the other men got angry and were going to call the law to find out who did it. Granddaddy had a good idea who had done this-maybe he had heard something, anyway, he told the other men that they really didn't want to do that-that it might land awfully close to home. I guess the men must have thought about it-they did not call the law![Mona Herrin]
