My grampa Lister was a good man. He had to put up with a lot in his lifetime, but he just went through it! He married my grandmother Flossie Hazel Kirk 18 March 1914 in Montgomery Co, IN. My father Raymond was their first child. Lloyd George was born second and then Norma Jean. He drilled water wells most of his adult life after growing up on a farm. With that he repaired and installed pumps and did lots of well repair work. In 1941 he along with my father and dad's brother Lloyd and their cousins Holt from Darlington drilled the first water well in Clarks Hill when the water works went in for the first time. His sons took up well drilling, but only my father kept it as a lifetime of work. And it was work, in all kinds of weather they were out in the elements. Grampa, the day he died had mowed his yard and washed his car, he had gone in to get ready to go somewhere. From my back yard I heard the ambulance sirens as I lived only two streets over. When I got there he was being taken out the door to the hospital. He had suffered a heart attack and died on the way to the hospital. It was a very sad time. I am saddened at the fact that I never really got to know him very well, except for a short talk on our back steps one day. It was nice to remember that after he was gone. A gentle man gone.
