"Mother often said, 'It is a sin to steal a pin, and a greater to steal a tater.'

"Once Father sent me out in the field to bring a cow and calf into the barn. When nearly there the cow turned on me, knocked me down and the short horns raised bumps on my body. Pa saw me climb over the fence and run to the house. He said nothing happened, but Mother told him of the bumps on my body from that rolling and bunting." (from "Our Family," by Mary Hey Harshman)

"Grandma Hey died before I was born. Gene Harshman said his mother (Verna Hey Harshman) relates that his mother (Verna) said Grandma Hey was very shy and quiet, rarely spoke when people came." (recollection by Janna Hey Dean)
