Robert Pierce Muffley (my father - pictured) was 19 in that 1930 census of Wethersfield/Kewanee, Henry Co. Illinois. Bob had lettered in football and basketball at Wethersfield High School (I have the letters), and was a graduate of that school, “Home of the Flying Geese”. I recall that Dad once went back to a quite enjoyable class reunion. He had a slight knee problem from a sports injury. In his early years, Dad enjoyed cartooning, he played the harmonica, and at some point he built a boat. Dad had great talents in designing and building things, including our home and garage. Later in life he did excellent woodcarving. Dad and his cousin Johnny Weidenhamer once went to a speak-easy. They had one drink of hard liquor and went home. This Johnny Weidenhamer appears to have been John Keith Weidenhamer, grandson of John Chancey Weidenhamer (brother of Frances Weidenhamer Jagger).
