Probably sold with all the other books. My bedtime favorite was the "Great Chiefs" from the Time Life Old West series. I took two Zane Grey books from the huge matching Zane Grey set. The bell, along with the post it was attached to, has been gone for years. I don't know what happened to it. I remember when Dad made a huge potato drawer out of some old lumber that slid under the building that sat next to the old house. That building was known as "the other side." The potatoes stayed dry under the building and apparently never rotted. I remember the plums vividly. There used to be plum bushes all over the place. I used to grab them by the handful when I would pass by the bushes while mowing. Do y'all remember the cherry tree in the pasture? It died off long before we even moved to Kansas.

Made me a bit weepy. I wish I had been there for the sale.
