"Uncle John" was a "traveling salesman". He sold "Stuchberry Products". All his nieces and nephews loved to see him coming because he had a suit case loaded with goodies. He always had little gifts for them, such as combs, mirrors, bobbypins, etc. He would open up his stach of goods and let them all prowl in it. The family enjoyed visiting Uncle John and Aunt Mary, as she was a wonderful cook. They raised their own chickens and would kill and pluck them for the Downer family because they just couldn't bring themselves to do it and eat them too!
