A TOUGH OLD COWBOY FROM SOUTH
TEXAS COUNSELED HIS GRANDSON THAT IF HE WANTED TO LIVE A LONG
LIFE, THE SECRET WAS TO SPRINKLE A PINCH OF
GUN POWDER ON HIS OATMEAL EVERY  MORNING. THE GRANDSON DID THIS
 RELIGIOUSLY TO THE AGE OF 103 WHEN HE
DIED.
HE LEFT BEHIND 14 CHILDREN, 30 GRANDCHILDREN, 45 GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN,
 25 GREAT-GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, AND A
15-FOOT HOLE WHERE THE CREMATORIUM USED TO
BE.
