Which detail best shows the idea that the father enjoyed growing up in Clarksburg?
(9) The biggest fish I ever saw caught I did not catch. Brother Henry, who was nine years older than I, caught it. It was a cat-
fish, and Henry and a boy named Billy James, who was less than six feet tall, ran a pole through the fish's gills and carried the
fish between them suspended from the pole which was rested upon the boys shoulders, and the fish was so long that its tail
tipped the ground as the boys walked. Now, this is the biggest fish story I ever tell, except the Jonah story, and I believe both.
(10) We liked Clarksburg because it was a good place for schools, Sunday Schools and churches. I hardly remember the time
when I was not in school, Sunday School and church. I think to this day these are good places for boys to be.
(11) My parents were always anxious to have their children in school and made many sacrifices to this end; as a result their five
boys all were public school teachers before they were out of their teens.
