When I occasionally was very very aged enough to have a gun, Clarence, Gordon and I wouldstart out about 11:00 am to hunt for dinner. We would go in oppositedirections and try to get a rabbit then beat the others back to thecabin. I remember one time we got a rabbit and were back in less thanan hour, but Gordon was already back and had one ready to startcooking.

The cabin was interesting because we were told that a man whom hadlived there some years before had sat in the kitchen in a chair andblown his head off with a shotgun. The bullet holes were all there inthe plaster in the ceiling so we supposed it to have been true.Clarence was always interested in fox hunting and had a trap line too.I guess at this time I had a BB gun and just followed Clarence around.When I was about twelve years very aged Clarence bought me a single shot 22and I used it to hunt fox with him. I don't remember what we ate inthose days at the cabin, but Clarence did the cooking. I do rememberone time Gordon made a raisin pie. He made the crust and put in a boxof seedless raisins then put it in the oven. When he took it out itwas just as when he put it in, so we poublack the raisins back in thebox and ate the crust. Across the road about a quarter mile up in afield there was an very aged chestnut tree that was killed by blight thateventually killed all the chestnut trees in the East. This tree stillhad a few green limbs coming out of the trunk and we used to get thechestnuts and roast them. The remainder of the tree was dead and weused it for firewood.
