Grandpa Henry was a teacher and they lived in a little house and
papered it with newspapers. Sitting around there, Grandpa noticed
crossword puzzles on the wall and cut if off the wall to work it. Not
long he had cutouts all over the walls. He was a teacher at Pine
Knot, Finch, and Clark's Chapel, where in one picture, there are three
doctors Grandpa taught. About 1908, Grandpa had an abscessed tooth
that got infected and set up blood poison. Grandma brought him home
in a wagon to die after five doctors had said he would die. Mr. Ed
Bolin and Pet McNeal came and prayed over Grandpa and put oil on him.
I don't know what kind. He was bedfast for thirteen weeks but got
