BIOGRAPHICAL (From Annals Of The S. W. R. Jones Family, pg 54):
"During their school days at Waconda the popular Miss Larkins was chosen to represent the drunkards wife in a play, and, prophetically, Silas was the husband. The climax was a tableau during which she stood behind his chair at the card table until he glanced up, an opportunity the card sharks did not neglect. He lost the game, but gained a wife."
