HUSBAND NOTES:
My Grandfather( Grandpa Knight) My Grandpa Knight had a farm in Runge, Karnes Co., TX, and as a kid I would visit. One day at nap
time (hot summer day, everyone took a nap), I had to go to the out house. I got on the throne and saw a snake in the corner of the
out house.
I remembered that I was told not to make sudden moves around a snake. Out there, there were the huge rattle snakes, so I was
scared to
death.
Slowly, ever so slowly, I pulled up my britches, and crept to the door. Once out the door, I screamed and hollered, "Grandpa,
Grandpa!!, there's
a snake in the outhouse!!!" Grandpa came running with his gun. We got on the tractor and chased that ol' snake all over the f
arm, ''til
finally we found it, and Grandpa shot it.
It turned out to be just a Huge old garden snake. It had red and black stripes, not the red and yellow bands, remember "red and
yellow,
kill a fella." So, anyway, that poor Garden snake met his death that day and we had quite an exciting "nap."
