My father's oldest brother was named Edward Beverly Atwood. Everybody just called him Ed. He married Laura Fischer, a lady of German extraction who was from the hill country of Texas.

They spent their lives building and running a chicken business called the "Atwood Hatchery."
It was located on Highway 16 north of Comanche, Texas.
When I became a teenager I had a job in their hatchery taking chicks out of the incubators.
When I stayed over at their house I thought it was funny that Uncle Ed blew his nose so loud.
Aunt Laura and I joked that he could "wake up the chickens."
