They lived down the road and George was like a member of our family you-know. He's- he's same age as Lyle. And he was there all the time, he lived there pretty well. We'd go set the table, you-know we'd always set a ta-- place for George too. But ah, we had this bull in the barnyard. B-- in the barn. Big Herford bull.

We cut off a pile of- and then I come home, I hadn't been home all winter, stayed at McBride's pretty well. And then I come home the first of March. And the second day of March it snowed four feet.

Every year we- we'd (inc) deer, and in fact most of the time I shot i-- well I didn't shoot them but the guy I hunted with, he didn't keep his, so we always had two of them pretty well for the winter, which was good to- good food and-that.

Interviewer: And in what kinds of things would go- would you do on the farm? Speaker: Oh gosh. Lila you can jump in there. Speaker 2: Well you just think, think- Speaker: We lived off- we lived off the farm for- Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker: Pretty well.

Interviewer: How do you take care of chickens? Speaker: Well you have to feed them and water them. ... Then they pretty well- and then we had ah, ah- but we called it a hen-house, but it was an open place. We'd- they went in there and that was their home.

I said, "The lake is gone!" It was only a puddle. ... The dam in Clayton broke. ... Overnight and it- ... Pretty well drained Taylor-Lake.

It- it's not- it wasn't like it is now. You get into a car and go to Ottawa. You-know (laughs) you had- you had to b-- pretty well walk where you went or else you-know- you-know, just us- ...

Interviewer: Those are all good Scots names. Speaker: they came from Saint- round near- th-- that branch of the family came from near Saint-Williams in Scotland which is three parts away up on the west- near the west coast. That's pretty well it.

Interviewer: Did any of the kids get into trouble? ... You ever played pranks on the teacher, or anything-like- Speaker: Oh yeah, well, well, we had one teacher that they pretty well- she left, she was a nice girl, she was an awful nice, kind little girl, but (inc), there's a few kind-of rough ones.

And n-- right up there, there was a Hopetown gang, the Middleville gang and the Lanark gang all about in a row. ... Now the Hopetown gang is still pretty well Hopetown except there's three fellows from Deep-River come down still. There's ah- and rest of them are pretty well 'round and a- well fairly close or related.

... and ah this old Hank-Stephen as I was talking about, he was always out for his few little things every morning, bring the young lad out the school bus and- so he had to pretty well be- ...

And then I was in the store, nice day in February, the big boss come in, he said "Where can I hire a man?" I said, "I don't know a man around right now. They're all- pretty well anybody I can think that you would want, ah or would be good for you-" but he said, "I need somebody to split core.

He just died two weeks ago. Seen his death in the paper. He was the geologist for Selco-Mining in this area. In fact, if we- if you found anything, Chuck was- he had this cut- he had eastern-Ontario pretty well sold out with Selco-Mining but ah Chuck and I didn't get along that well and I couldn't work with him but ah- ah I never had to. He was in the background somewhere.

Oh yeah, yeah we'd all mix sheep and mix cattles, sheep and pigs over the whole barn, yeah. So then they did that and they stayed pretty well in ah (inc) township, sheared sheep, eh? Look, everybody then- back years ago, everybody had a flock of sheep. And everybody didn't want to shear their own so they hired these two guys.

So this sheep's sitting on her bum with her feet out in front of you. She's pretty well out of commission and you start- I start off with her left side. Sheep's left side. Do the left side, pretty well all you can then switch hands and do the right side as far as you can.

Twelve- fifteen-hundred kids everyday pretty near. Not adult. And then, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, it's open to the public, eh? So it's pretty well jammed full of kids then too. So the lady here says to this crowd of people, out front there's- there's chair-- chairs and then there's a bleacher at the back. She prolonged one wall, there's two bleachers at the other side of the wall.

So I sold them lambs this year. And two of them lambs are going to Metcalfe to the regional show. ... And down there they can bring ten bucks a pound or they can bring- well they're pretty well guaranteed three-fifty, right? If you do- if you do all your homework, follow all the humps and hurdles all the way through, it doesn't matter where you place, your lamb is sold.

Interviewer: Yeah. So they were kind of independent in their house? Speaker: Pretty well. Interviewer: Did they cook their own meals and-everything? Speaker: Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
