He said allthe boys had a new hat, but Abraham Gorden Spruiell said, "Papa thoughtBob (Robert Mason Spruiell) was the only one of us who had sense enoughto keep up with our hats so he took ours and let Bob wear his. The veryfirst thing Bob did was stick his head our the window and his hat blewaway." " Mr. Spruiell was a very jolly fellow, always ready for a joke. alot of the kin came to see h im when he was in bed practically all thetime the last year and one half of his life. Healways welcomed everybody,laughed and talked as best he could withthe emphysema problem. He andMrs. Spruiell were very sweet to me.Never was there a sweetermother-in-law than mine. I think if I hadprepared a 'cow chip' and putit on the table she would havecomplimented me, because I did it. She wasp recious and was good toeverybody."[Holloway file.FTW] References
