| 1931 Grandpa Charlie and Art |
Charles Wesley Shoemaker
"He grew up as a farmer, but later turned to carpenter work. He never made a great deal of money -- a hard luck story and he'd do a repair job for free. Were times this made it hard on he and his family, but he was a much-loved man by all. His great sense of humility and love of all men left its mark on many people. He lived his life fully and honestly, with no claim to greatness. But to those who loved him, that was his greatness. From him I learned compassion for all people.
"They lived with us for 20 years. My boys loved to hear his tall tales of when he was young, of which many, I am sure, were a figment of his imagination."
