He was born about 3 miles from where I live. The boarding house where he was born was torn down years ago and Best One tire store is there now. On the corner of the parking lot is a monument to him. He then was taken in by family In Fairmount and they inherited all his wealth when he died and they are a bit snooty. I have met them.
