The Nails in the Fence Post
from Hawthorne — A Family Saga
## The Nails in the Fence Post Told in the voice of William Peter Hawthorne — Rod's great-great-grandfather (d. 1930s) — and his great-grandson William Edward "Pete" Hawthorne (1910-1959), the boy who shadowed him around the farm and earned the name for life. The crooked nails a four-year-old drove into a fence post "to help" — and how they outlasted their purpose. From the Hawthorne family's own record.
