---------------------
My mother has told me some stories and her older brother Cecil told me one or two before he died. This is one.
(1884-1893*)   "Almost all the kids were gone.   Howard (Strange) was about the only one left. They had an old grey horse name Cleves and a red dog called PattySue. The dog and the horse were partial to one another and when the horse went out to pasture
the dog followed. "Samuel would always get up from the table and scrape out  his plate for the dog then go do his night chores. One night in the dead of winter there was ice on the ground and the fires in the house were built high to keep out the winter chill.   Sam went in to feed extra to the milk cow and the team of horses. A bob cat had gone into the barn to get out of the cold and was snarling in a manger. The horse
was outside and the dog came in with Samuel. The cat spooked and jumped at Samuel in order to escape.  Tthe dog took the cat and the horse came in  through the barn rearing and kicking at the bob cat.  It  wasn't long before the cat lay dead and the horse went  back to eating his hay and the dog went on the porch to get his biscuits and gravy leaving Samuel standing in
the barn wondering what had happened. That night the dog slept in the house by the fire."
