In Joe's family, there were two girls—Betty and Kay; and there were six boys—Tice, Joe, Nick, Fritz, Frank, and Charles.
One of Joe's little brothers died as a child in an accident. When we were kids, it was different. At that time, we didn't have refrigerators, so we got chunks of ice from the ice wagon that came to town. When the ice wagon went around town, kids would jump on it to ride around on it.
One day, Joe's little brother jumped on it just as it was going around a curve, and he fell off. He was killed when he fell. The delivery man didn't even know it happened.

That was so sad, dying at a very young age. Accidents like this happens even on the safest place you could possibly think of.
