Sewed up in a bed sheet. My grandma Taylor told my Uncle Floyd to do some chore,

When he did not do the chore she got a switch and was going to give him a good thrashing. He was about 16 years at the time and believed that he was too old to be whipped. He took the switch away from grandma and broke it up. She walked away. That night when Uncle Floyd went to sleep my grandma came into the bedroom and took the sheet he was laying on and folded it over and sewed him up into the sheet. She then took the new switch she had secured and proceeded to administer the punishment that she had been thwarted from doing.

Dividing the catch of the day at the local cemetery. Two men after a successful day of fishing were returning home and as they got to the local cemetery where the road forked they stopped to divide their catch. Because they were tired they went into the cemetery and sat on some large tombstones. As they walked into the cemetery one of the men dropped a couple of the fish by the gate as he entered. Two brothers were returning from a date and were walking by the cemetery. One was a cripple who walked with crutches. They stopped by the gate when they heard the voices. They could not make out the image of the speakers so they stood still. They heard the voice saying you, “You take this one and I’ll take this one.” I’ll take this one and you take that one.” The brother decided that God and Satan were dividing up the dead. The brothers keep listening until one of the fishermen remembered the two fish he had dropped near the gate. He then said, “You can have the two over there by the gate. The crippled brother said, “He may get you but he want get me and the crippled brother beat his brother home.

Going through a cemetery at night. A man out late one night decided to take a short cut through the local cemetery. Unbeknownst to him there had been a new grave dug in the cemetery and he fell into the grave. He tried to extract himself but the grave being deep and rather sandy soil he finally decided that he would wait until the next day and maybe someone would hear his call for help. He moved to one side and got as comfortable as possible, then went to sleep. It happened that another man decided to take the same short cut. He too fell into the grave and started trying to get out. This woke up the first man who had been asleep. The man who had been asleep said, “You can’t get out of here”, but the second man did.

Foot prints in the snow. One evening when my grandma Taylor was at home with her smaller children, grandpa was gone off on one of his many adventures, someone shot a gun and the bullet came into the house. Grandma grabbed a gun and went outside but the person had disappeared. There was snow on the ground so she followed his foot prints. They let to the school house where a revival meeting was in progress. She went into the service and interrupted the service and told the people that someone had shot into her house where she and her children were and she ask that they point out who had just entered in to the building. Not wanting to see a man shot in their church service they very logically refused to tell who had done such a cowardly thing.
