" Born in a log cabin near the Wabash River in southern illinois, he was raised on corn bread baked in a cast iron skillet in the fireplace. "It was a big skillet with a four foot handle," he recalls, "and it was set in a bed of coals, filled with batter, and a heavy lid fit tightly on the top. Then it was covered over with hot coals, and the bread was baked." tte remembers the big brass kettle that hung from a crane in the fireplace. There was no cookstove. Thus the family lived until he was 2 I years of age, at which time his father built a new four room frame house. "People came from all directions from miles around, just to see it," he says.
