    Notes 
    • Joel was a farmer, carpenter and worked with the railroad for years. Alice Moose Oaks wrote of Joel, "He worked for Dad(Ted Moose), when we were young children. One day he was planting cabbage seedlings, stopped to look back to check on the straightness of the row, he saw Mary(Alice's older sister) a little was behind him, industriously pulling out each plant along the row. She got spanked- right then! He often stopped in just before we went to bed. He'd take us on his lap and recite 'This Little Pig' pulling our toes and cracking them as he said it. I dreaded the cracking of my toes, but liked to sit on his lap. Finding us in our night clothes when he came in is quite likely why Mary got the nickname of 'Bedbug' from Joel. In the summer of 1970 we called on Joel where he lived with his son, Claude, (since 1935). With poor vision and poor hearing to hamper his recognition of us, he knew at once when Mary said, 'This is Bedbugs!' We had a nice visit. His memory was very good. He was 91 years old at the time."
