! elegy on the country school teacher
Written by J E Clark on 20 October 1903
I sit by the open window
At the closing of the day
And think of our discarded teacher
That was known by the name of Clay
!Who on account of the ribs he had broken
And the necks he had thrown out of place
Was forced to resign his position
And hastily left the place
!They say he was harsh to his pupils
But he was always kind to me
And why they didn't like him
Is what I cannot see
!But now we have another
Who is apparently just as good
And I hope he'll give satisfaction
To the entire neighborhood
!RETIRED FROM THE FARM:
When Jim was about 71 years of age, he retired from the farm, and moved to
Arizona where he owned and operated a Motor Court for several years. He did a
lot of painting and was considered to be quite talented in the field of Art.
He liked to paint Scenery pictures as well as various other subjects.
