Neighbor Feud Ends in Violence and Vengeance
Paul Levering recounts a long running feud with neighbor Dick Hardy as he details repeated trespasses and attacks. A sawed pear tree limb and a dog shooting followed by property damage and threats lead to legal and personal danger.
The Quaker's counsel and neighborly done deed
A tale of Paul Levering and Dick Hardy escalates from feuding to strategy. Levering thwarts harm by aiding Hardy's wagon in mud and later helps mend a fence, leading Hardy to seek reconciliation. The Quaker adviser reframes conflict as killing with kindness, ending in renewed neighborly bond and a formal pledge of friendship.
