Stories (fam)
I saw this old houseWith weathered walls of grey,
My Gandparents house,
Was just this way,
Many a Happy day.
In that old house,
With love and happiness,
The horse and buggy,
The old straw mattress on a high metal bed.
Grapes on the arbor,
Friends across the fence,
I often have dreams of the happy days there.
My grandparents lived in Hartford City Indiana, in a little grey house. My three
sisters and I would spend our summers there. We had many friends and a loving
Grandmother & Grandfather.
My Grandmother would start out for the little corner store-it would be noon before
we got back with our breakfast cereal. She knew everyone and would stop and
talk to all of them. We thought we would starve.
We would go to town in the horse & buggy every Saturday night. In those days
Hartford City, like all other towns, was really bustling with people.
I sure miss those Good Old Days.
One night we were getting ready to go to town- Grandpa was working with his
horse-l did something (l don't remember what now) and the horse bit him. He
never did know what happened, probably a good thing too.
We are grandparents now, and enjoy all our grandchildren & great
grandchildren.
No horse & buggy, back fence or straw mattress but lots of other memories for
them. We're in our 80's now and so many changes have been made-love and good
memories still remain with me.
Thank You

Family Story
Email from Mike, ID0452, 7 May 2013:William A. Worthen, according to my mother, was nicknamed "Pony Billy" because he was maybe the last person in Hartford City to drive a horse and buggy. I don't think it was a term of endearment! Something in my back yard of my memory tells me that the city passed an ordinance prohibiting domestic animals within the city limits and that's why he had to give it up. I'm not sure if his wife drove or not, but I'm fairly certain that Mother said he never drove a car.
