Happy Birthday Great Grandpa Henry Spencer Spellman Ford!
We come from people who like to have a good time. Here is what Lillie Belle's brother Wellington said about a time Henry changed the wheels around on some guys buggy and then noticed he had done the same thing on his buggy.
"We had our music along and we had a big dance til about 3:00 a.m. Henry, knowing that another guy and I were at the head of the affair, decided to play a joke on us, while we were having a big time, he went out and changed the wheels around on the other guy’s buggy. One front behind and hind wheel on the opposite side in front. Kind of a laughing matter, and as I was taking my girl home, we were laughing and talking about it when I happened to think and discover both my front wheels were behind and hind wheels in front, so now we had to laugh at our own predicament. Funny enough, I had to get along without kissing her cause I couldn’t lean ahead to do it. Oh, we had fun those days. So Henry did get a good joke on us and I didn’t notice mine til I had laughed about the other fellows."
