Histories | A Letter about Sylvanus Collett A 1968 letter written by Bryron to his sister Alice Snow containing memories of their father. An Excerpt: "We never had to work on Sunday more than to take care of the water and the cows but I can remember one Sunday when there was some sickness going around and there wasn't any church meetings. Father and Alley Anderson had some kind of trouble. I don't know just what, but they weren't the best of friends but this one Sunday morning when we had had breakfast Father said to me, "We don't work on Sunday much but there isn't any church today. Mr. Anderson cut that big patch of hay and now he is sick in bed. I don't think it would hurt much if you put the harness on the horse and went and raked it for him. It will be to dry tomorrow. ... After that Father and Mr. Anderson became good friends." | |
Memories of Sylvanus (Vean) S. Collett By his daughter Edna Collett Raines in 1996 An Excerpt: "Papa was an old country dentist, in that he had some forceps to pull teeth. All the neighbors would bring their children up to get their teeth pulled out... He told the story of a man who met him in this buggy and asked him to pull his tooth. He said, 'I'll scream and yell, but don't quit pulling until it is out.' So Papa straddled him and pulled. Yes, the man screamed and yelled, but finally the tooth came out. Then the man quit yelling and said, 'You darn fool, you pulled out the wrong one!' So he had to pull the right aching one." |
