AN OLD FARMER HERE WAS KILLED WHEN HIS TRACTOR OVERTURNED WHILE HE WAS MOWING HAY A WEEK BACK. HIS FARM HERE IN THE MOUNTAINS IS SO STEEP HIS NICK NAME WAS HILLY. HOW MANY SEASONS HE MADE HAY IN THAT SAME FIELD I DON'T KNOW. HIT A ROCK COMING DOWN THE HILL & THE TRACTOR FLIPPED. HE WAS 91 YEARS OLD! NO, NOT A MISS PRINT, 91. I DOUBT I'LL BE MAKING ANYTHING WHEN I'M 91. THIS MAN LOVED FARMING, WAGONTRAINS & HIS BELGIN
HORSES. HE WAS LAID TO REST AFTER ONE FINAL RIDE IN THE WAGON, PULLED BY THAT BELGIN TEAM. JUST THOUGHT I'D PASS THAT ON!

I should live so long, middle 80s seems to be the limit for the men in our family.

A sad accident indeed. At least he died doing something he loved and not wasting away for years in some nursing home.

I agree with Rod's post. Would that we all could pass on after such a full life, doing what we loved best, right to the bitter end.
