MARKER FAMILY RECORDS:
**********************
Charles liked to gamble. He lived between Webb and Gilletts Grove and when the traveling boxers came to town for prize fighting, he would bet one way in one town and the other in the opposite town.
The boxer that won his bet would be the
town he would go to to boast.
He had a horse that would sometimes balk.
He was on his way to town to get some lamp oil and the horse balked at the top of the hill. Charles had a crock to carry the oil in and being it was in hand, he broke the crock between the horse's ears putting him to the ground. Charles walked to town to get the oil.
