A reminiscence on harvest imagery frames the passing of two longtime community members, Mrs. W. G. Wilson and Mr. J. H. Barker. The piece honors their character, poetic verse, and life contributions, noting Barker’s gentle philosophy and Wilson’s enduring memory. Farewell to dear old friends.
The piece recalls a boyhood taught by a stern father gardening against dandelions. It laments the weed battle, the hard labor, and the later ache of aging. The narrator ties a leather belt and hunted wealth to the same old wounds of work and memory. Note: The above was the Sant poem penned by the late Mr. Barker.
