"We came from the farm to Decatur. That was in 1872. I remember we had a turkey dinner and then some of us took a walk down to the river, went down Franklin street. Ice dealers were cutting ice eight and ten inches thick. 'There were about 300 boys and girls skating on the river.

I remember Henry A. Vood and Howard Wood. They were the expert fanry skaters of the crowd. Maybe I remember them because they could cut so many fancy figures, more than others tried to do. I had never seen anything like that when I lived on the farm and of course was all new and wonderful to me.

I remember too that there was a log fire on the river bank where the boys would go to warm their fingers But I don't remember much about the weather during the winter months which followed."
