Sept. 1900. Will Mead taking a drink at the old spring by a slough in a pasture on the farm. We went down to Biddick, a little cross road corner settlement, where there was a blacksmith shop and store. Here Will Mead and some of the other farmer boys had a barrel of clay blackbirds, and we took them out in a pasture behind the blacksmith shop for a shoot. Will Mead with gun getting ready to shoot.
