Father's brother Melvin (a doctor in the Civil War) had one
child, Henry, and his picture shows what can be done to an
only child. He was pert, fresh, inconsiderate of others. He
roomed with me one year in Geneseo and used to clatter down
the stairs making as much noise as possible, and particularly
after the two boys rooming under us complained of the noise.
Then he intentionally made more noise than ever.
