    Notes:

    Emert was a big man, the town blacksmith and self taught Veterinarian. When a strong man came to town and put on a show by lifting one corner of a T Model in front of Park Theater, friends and neighbors coaxed Trotter to show the man what he could do. He laughed and picked up the entire back end of the Ford.
