Page 34 went to Okobojo with us and sometime in the afternoon he was looking out the window toward Hal’s place and he exclaimed Hal’s barn’s on fire! The only men in town were a crew of four that were building the new schoolhouse. I rushed out and cranked the old Ford and went up to get the men. One of the men said, “let me drive”. I slid over and we went to the fire. We met Bulah and the two boys coming to meet us. She was crying and screaming and the boys were a mess. Bills right hand was almost burned off and his face arms and body were badly burned. Roy must have got out of the mow fist. He was badly burned too but not as bad as Bill. We got them in the back seat of the car and I headed for town with them. The men went to see if they could save anything from the fire. I drove up in the front of the telephone office where Bulah’s sister lived and we got the boys into the house. |
