Welcome:
Paul was the final child
of John Thomas Houk and
Dora Cockran.
Paul told me stories from
his youth about times in
Calhoun Mo. His cousin
Norman my father would
visit. They would play in
the woods behind the house.
I have a photo of them.
Paul looks about 10.
On my trip to Missouri
Paul, Naomi, rolla George
took me to the house. We
wondered around the
property looking for a way
to get through the fence
in the back. after a bit
of luck we found on way
back to what they called
the sand rock. It was a
stone where the family
pressed sorgum cane to
collect the syrup.
