Uncle Irvine Byrne wanted to sell his 120 acre farm, which is the farm where Lee and Garth now live. (2013) The three men wanted to buy it but the only way to get the money was for Jess to mortgage our home place, which was paid for. It was considered a big risk. Jess knew we would need more than the 60 acre home place, to raise our family. Jess and I were hurt when Rachel wanted Stanley to have 2/3 and them not have a share. We only farmed together for a few years. No one wanted to be boss. Jess would go to his Dad’s and wonder what they were going to work on. Stan wasn’t married and liked to sleep late. Steve and Lee were big enough to work. We soon divided the machinery and we took over the payments on the farm. It was wonderful for Jess to be his own boss again. Jess was having trouble breathing and some times we would stop the car and Jess get out to walk around and get some fresh air. I can’t believe that from this time on, over 22 years Jess had trouble breathing.
