From Attalla County, Mississippi Book ...look up.
"Also flitting in and out, as he did in life, was Lorenzo Dow Wingo, a distant relation. As a small boy I knew him when he returned from "The Indian Territory," where, he said, "his boys had been mean to him"--- an old man with a little knapsack on his back and no other visable means of support. He "visited around" among relatives and friends; and "Cousin Dow" was always welcome, especially to housewives and children. He was a little bearded man, and
His eyen twynkled in his head aryght,
As doon the sterres in the frosty nyght.
And also with Chaucer's Friar in the Canterburry Tales,
His typet was ay farsed ful of knyves
And pynnes, for to yeven faire wyves.
And he could make or mend churn lids and dashers, solder holes in the tinware, "fix" clocks, and do odd light jobs of carpentry. For us children, he was Santa Claus, and it was always Christmas when he came. He made whistles and squirtguns and blowguns and bows and arrows, and told many a tale about the wild Indians of the Territory. When he was discovered dead in a fence corner, sufficient money was found on his person to bury him decently and erect a little marker over his grave. He sleeps in the Palmer graveyard."
