Later,we remeber him coming from the well and broke his leg again.At that time he had to have it amputated. He got stayed in the hopstial for a long time. When he frist came home he didn't want to walk with a crucht so he walked with the back of a chair.My gardmama would fuss and nhe would just say "Ah Ole Woman!" He never liked to take hand-outs, so he was determined to make it on his own.He started raising chickens,cows,etc,and driving people around on his mule and wagon for money.
