Do you have the same "family story" that we have? Bob's grandfather died before he was 10, and he himself left home at 13, but his memory of Grandfather Enos Riley HIATT's telling the story is clear, and his father, DeLoe R. HIATT, Sr. told the story using the same wording. Bob's told our children and grandchildren the same story. (Enos was born in 1861, DeLoe Hiatt Sr. in 1896, my husband Bob [DeLoe Hiatt, Jr.] in 1927.
