In 1914, I hired out as machinist apprentice and a year later
they moved the shop from Bellefontaine to Indianapolis. I still
have a steam engine I made in the tool room of the local shop.

In 1916, I hired out as a locomotive fireman and was promoted to
engineer in 1923. I fired and ran steam locomotives for 35 years
