When Calvin was four years old the family went to the sheep camp with their father to spend a few days in October. The men were working with the sheep some distance away from the wagon and tent. The children were playing close by. Mother noticed something was wrong. Soon Clifton and Calvin began having convulsions. Mother would question them between convulsions.
They said they had found a bottle which they thought contained sugar, and they ate some of it. The bottle had fallen out of one of the herder's pockets. Mother screamed for help, but the men were too far away. Some time later a man on horseback heard mother's screams and responded, but it was too late. Calvin was dead. Clifton gradually got better.
