A great story-teller.
Frances Joseph McCool is a great story-teller. He is an old man now. He tells many stories to people; but I do not know the stories. William Dinsmore. Mowing (88)
William Dinsmore who is an old man now, but when he was young (he was young) he was a good mower. He would mow two acres of corn in a day, with a scythe, and everyone wondered at him, because they could not mow half as much as him. He would mow as much as a reaper would reap now. William Dinsmore is alive still. William and another man were trying to see who would mow the most, but William mowed far more than him.
