Kinney Family, by Gladys Hilton Farri, p164.
One Fourth of July they had a large celebration in Jordan. A lady by the name
of Mrs. Jane Reed owned a nice bay race horse. She had been taking all the
honors and money. Zeke Roberts had a little sorrel with white stocking feet.
He asked me if I would wride it in the race for him and advised me not to get
out there until the last minute. This race was down the middle of Main Street
in Jordan. We won and when I collected the $10, I offered it to Zeke. He was
only interested in winning the race and told me to keep the money.
