  	traded 100 acre farm at Bicford for 200 acres farm at Bothwell
  	"When Grandmother Small left Mother the farm it had a couple of barns and a house too small for a big family. Dad was a good carpenter and loved that work. He built us a very nice frame house with four bedrooms upstairs, a living room, hall, dining room, kitchen and pantry and two bedrooms downstairs. It was a lovely home with lots of fruit and flowering trees. I loved that home but when we moved to Bothwell in 1914 I never saw it again. The people who bought it managed to burn it. The reason for trading was to be near a high school. It was too expensive to board children in Sarnia. We moved to Bothwell and in August 1914 the war broke out in Europe. Gord and Earl had some military training in Niagara-on-the-Lake so they enlisted at once.

  	" Mother was too busy being a mother to attend church much. She had three verses for her life. 1 Be careful to entertain strangers. You might by chance be entertaining angels unaware. 2. Never harm a little child. It would be beter for you to have a millstone tied around your neck and thrown into the sea. 3. Never call your brother a fool. He who calls his brother a fool will burn in hell's fire. - all verses in the bible!

  	"In November 1936, Mother when out with Earl to help pick up the potatoes she was afraid he was letting freeze. She took a sick spell and the Doctor said she should have her gall bladder out, so on Monday morning November 10, 1936 she was operated on but didn't come out of the operation. On the noon mail I had got a letter from her and supper I got the telegram that she was dead. She was buried from Doug's house."
