He was so good at using it, he could hunt with it and kill rabbits and
squirrls by throwing the stick at them! Source #63 indicates that
John was 49 in June 1900 and had been married 20 years (putting his marriage
sometime in 1880). The same source said he was born in 1851, was
a farmer, he could read but not write, his father was born in NC and his
mother in AL. He was renting his farm at the time of the Census."
