I wonder what kind of spree Henry went on. He was of modest means, a stone mason, and road agent at the same time Adolph Rochon (the man my grandmother lived with) was and also Ed Wheeler who lived in Ollie's present house. There is a story about Henry using dynamite to open a ditch alongside one of the roads, but in one case the dynamite did not go off and when he and his 2 helpers lifted the planks covering the dynamite it then exploded seriously injuring his helpers but just giving him a scratch on the face.

Did the Fair's proceeds, or fruits of the harvest, get sent to Union soldiers?
