When I was between the ages of 8 to 14, I recall my Mother telling me about 
her Grandfather William E. Sears. He was born in 1835 in Randolph County, AL. 
Sometime around the age of twelve he had an accident; (fell fom a tree is the 
way it was told to me by my mother), and injured his lower back. It never 
healed properly and over the following years, his pelvic area began to pull 
the tendons in his legs until they crossed. Many people would consider this a 
great handicap. Apparently, my Great Grandfather did not allow it to be one 
for him. He married and raised a family of 8 on his own farm. This is a photo 
of him shortly before he died.
