ABOUT GRANDPA BITTICK:
From Lee Jones: "He worked a combine cutting rice in Louisiana; mowed with 17 little mules to a combine; through the fields like wheat threshers do now." Lee said that my Daddy (Harry E. Jones) told him this.

From Uncle Earle i.e. Earle Bittick Jones: "In Benton, Texas he (HWC) was called "The Squire". He was Justice of Peace and ran a store. He was head of Masons. He was constable of that precinct. Once HWC Bittick was called from San Antonio that a robber was coming toward Benton. The posse caught him. Uncle Earle saw them at the river with a bloody body across the saddle."
