[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 201034, member: 367"] What's the oldest old timers you old timers remember visiting with ? A neighbor that was born somewhere in the late 1860s for me and he was 102 or 104 when he died , Nobody knew for sure . He wasn't much of a talker but neighbors told of his travels. He didn't have a vehicle but I remember he came walking to our house with a letter once and had my dad read it to him and had dad write a reply. Lots of hillbilly family born in late 1800s that loved telling stories of the olden days. My Father in law was born in 13 on the prairie and he told stories of the rabbit hunts and skunk trapping he and his 4 brothers did and dickering with the Porter Brothers in Minot for hours to get the best price they could for their furs . They are all gone now except for My mom who was born in 20 and has a big birthday coming up this year, She still likes to tell about the days when she snared rabbits along the trail to school and had a trap line. Back in those days for farmers furs were the biggest cash flow they had for a lot of years, farming was tough and jobs were scarce.
