More memories about Henry Robert

When I was a little girl, it was a HUGE occasion when Henry Robert Patton came to visit Grandma Grim. Excitement for days in advance, as we all helped prepare for his visit. He was a favorite of everyone, and one of Mom's most special cousins. One time when he came, he was very shaken, and told a difficult story about his trip into Nebraska. He was driving near Hebron, Nebraska, and a tornado struck the area. He went into a farmyard that was heavily damaged. There were dead family members scattered around, and he started gathering them up. Nine members of the family died. He was very sad, and as Grandma tried to comfort him, he told her this was just more of the horrible things he had seen in his life. What a unique person.
