Old Rolfe memories of tragedy and pioneers hardships
The narrative recalls a 1870s well accident in Powhatan township where a child died after a dry goods box cover failed. It recounts pumps sold to settlers, Reed the pump agent nicknamed Pumpy Reed, and other frontier misfortunes including a Slosson family death from berry poisoning and a rattlesnake bite. It also details the Tinker family tragedy near Silverlake with Mrs. Tinker found dead in a muddy slough after a cattle round-up, the long community search, rumors of haunting, and the eventual move away.
