In speaking of the pioneer days, Mrs. Jewell said it was a very common thing to hear the howl of the wolf and it was necessary many times to build fires on stumps and logs to keep the wolves away from the sheep. One time a brother of Mrs. Jewelf'killed a wolf that measured 7 1-2 feet from the point of its nose to the end of its tail. Wagons with wheels made of blockssawed off of large trees and with wooden axles were the only vehicles in use, except the sled which was used in the winter. Mrs. Jewell's father was Daniel Clark and he was a wheelwright by trade, making large and small spinningat large as there was no fencing. Stock were marked with slits in their ears. The first cane Mrs. Jewell ever saw was raised by her father-in-law from seed purchased at Terre Haute. He paid $2.50 for a little package of seed similar to a package of lettuce seed now on sale at the stores. Mr. Jewell made an 1 old wooden mill to grind the cane, and the juice was boiled in kettles over a log fire. Later the people learned to construct furndces for that purpose.Mrs. JeweiTs surviving children are as follows: Mariah Brock, who resides near Dana; Lydia A. True-blood of Sullivan county; Elizabeth C. Jewell of Indianapolis; Bailey Jewell of Essext Mo.; William S.wheels and chairs for the people of Jewell of Hunt, Mo.; Thomas A.Jewell of Clifty, Ark., and Mary E.this county.
