| Anecdotes |
| I think this must have occurred in the mid 1920's when Uncle John was about 10 years old. John had been doing something that got his hands dirty and greasy. He had seen his dad, George, open a small drain petcock (valve) on tractor gasoline tanks, and rinse his hands in the small stream of gasoline released. This is what he did and successfully cleaned his hands. But he noticed that there was a telltale puddle of gas remaining on the ground. Grandpa being very frugal, John was afraid he would get in trouble for wasting the gas. So he used a match to burn the gasoline puddle under the tractor. The fire must have been a little bigger than John bargained for as it ignited and burned up the tractor. I never heard if he got into trouble for wasting the tractor. (Paul L. Hathcoat, 2003) |

| Anecdotes |
| During World War II, Aunt Doris lived with her parents-in-law while husband John was in Europe. Blanche's father, Grandpa Winters, was also living with them. One day Grandpa Winters insisted that he need to go to Wagoner, some 14 miles distant and he pressed Doris into driving him. In the old pre-war car, (I believe a 1939 Ford), braking was less than perfect. When she pulled into the angled parking in front of the drugstore in Wagoner the front wheel bumped the curb a little harded than she planned. As was usual in those days, several people were sitting on benches in front of the store. To add to Aunt Doris' embarassment, Grandpa Winters leaned out the open car window and yelled, "Make way! We’re coming through!" In relating the story, Aunt Doris said, "I was chagrined." (Doris Gentry Lauterbach, as told to PLH) |
