     Talma quotes William, "My parents being poor, I began to work out when 8 years old, working the first summer for my board and clothes, and after that receiving wages by the month or year, reserving 3 months in the winter each year, till twenty years of age, for attending the district school, working after school hours to pay my board. A large share of my wages during my minority years went for the support of our large family. I commenced life for myself by buying 50 acres of wild mountain land, which I cleared, hiring my board, meanwhile, of the nearest neighbor, and selling the product received from the land. In the course of 3 years I had the land mostly cleared of timber, at which time I sold it, and began the manufacture of butter tubs and lumber.²
