It was this white thing, and the teeth on either side were not nearly so white. And he had had it since he was a child, and some kid, they had been throwing gravel, and he'd caught a piece of gravel in the mouth and knocked his tooth out. I think he had been on the top of the house."	Kelley, William Haynes Sr (I1)
226	Haynes Kelley: "They were living in Woodward. That's of course where Tingham has all her fond memories of living in Woodward. And then, the story is the guy who ran the coke plant there, who was in charge of it, his son finished college and needed a job, and so they decided that the superintendent of the coke plant, the job that my grandfather had, was a job that had to be filled by somebody who had a college degree. And so they unceremoniously fired--let my grandfather go. But Tingham had scarlet fever, so they couldn't move for six months or a year. They stayed there with my grandfather not having a job, just living in company housing until they moved to Holly Court, which is up this way."	Millar, William Douglas Sr (I87)
227	Haynes Kelley: "Uncle Jack--it was kind of funny--Uncle Jack loved to compare bald spots with my dad. It was a big deal. Jack had a bigger bald spot than Daddy did, and so Jack decided he needed a toupee. He was proud of that toupee. It was a part of who he was. It was funny. And I think somewhat of a status symbol. It was important not to be bald, and he could afford a toupee, so he had one."	McCaw, John Todd (I9)
