Notes - Simon swallowed lye water from the pail which his mother used to scrub the floors. His mother melted lard and made him swallow some and saved his life, but left him much trouble swallowing for many years. While living in Flanagan, IL, before he was 3 years old, he fell into a well. His mother reached in, grabbed his clothes and rescued him.
