interview with Delbert Fisher:
Uncle Silas died in 1931 from Alzheimer�s disease. When he was about 2 years old, Dad (Lorenzo) said Silas had a conniption fit, fell down and broke his elbow. He carried his right arm funny. He never could straighten it up. That�s the only thing I remember about him. The way he carried that right arm. Accept, him laying in that casket, trying to figure out why he didn�t get up.
I was only about 6 or 7 years old. It was the first funeral I ever went to. It like to worry me to death. I don�t know it they ever put the casket in the grave or if they nailed the box lid on the rough box and filled it up.
There wasn�t no body in that grave. They stole the body, medical did. The hospital wanted to run some test to see how he died and what was wrong. I remember Dad and Mom hauling 2-3 loads of dirt up there to fill in the hole.
Virgil never did know it. Virgil was Uncle Silas�s boy. Virgil died back in �67, he had a stroke.
Grandpa (Milton) died of yellow jaundice in Oklahoma in 1910. He was 57 years old. Dad (Lorenzo) did not know what cemetery he was buried in.
Grandpa married 5 times, Grandma was his 3rd wife. They had 4 boys, Dad, Uncle Orville, Uncle Silas and Oscar.
She died. Oscar was too little. Grandpa couldn�t take care of him. He left Oscar with a family in Ohio. Never did see him again. Uncle Orville went to see him in the �30�s. Oscar didn�t want anything to do with the family. Oscar had a boy that could have passed as my twin. After the war, Oscar sold the garage out and went to one of those cities back east.
He died back there and his boy did about the same time.
