Notes from Catherine Paquelet Dzurec ("Michel Family Tree")
My father, Paul Paquelet, enjoyed the farm as a small boy and on one of their many visits, he and his brother, Richard, were playing in the creek which ran through the farm. Richard attempted to pole vault over the creek using a large tree limb. He ran at the creek, planted the pole in the mud, and proceeded to slide down the pole into the water. Dad laughed until his sides hurt! They also used to gather elderberries in the late summer. The male adults often made wine from the berries, though the women made pies which the young men enjoyed as much as the wine! Dandelion wine was a favorite as well as apple cider which, while sweet when first pressed, was savored when it was aged and became "hard" cider.
"Cow tipping" was a prank often played on farmers and the Smith farm was not spared the sound of a cow complaining at the top of her lungs in the middle of the night from being pushed on her side and being unable to right herself. The same type of prank was played at night on unsuspecting visitors to the outhouse. The boys who propagated the prank, however, had to be prepared for an irate inhabitant to emerge from the outhouse and chase them from the property, threatening them with life and limb. Horse and buggy teams were not immune to such actions as well, though buggy whips would often deter the boys who chased the transport as well as the weight of the horse.
Carl often allowed us to watch as he milked his cows and once we were allowed to give it a try when we were older. He always squirted us in the legs if we got too close, though most of the time he used the automatic milking machines. He liked to show off his calves and baby bulls when they were young enough for us to pet without danger of being stepped on. My sister, Clare, was especially enamored with the animals and when Carl had a baby bull, he suggested that she pet him. She walked up to him, put her arms around his neck to give him a hug. He butted her with his head right in her chest and sent her right down on her rear! She was too startled to even cry, but the rest of us had a great laugh at the look on her face. She always wanted to pet the chickens as well and they would chase her, pecking at her legs and feet every time!
We were also welcome to target shoot on the property if we promised not to shoot at the cows! The farm trash heap was a great source of bottles and cans which we used as targets (as my father and his friends had done before us). On one auspicious occasion, my sister, Jean, and her boyfriend of the time were using my mother's semi-automatic 44 which misfired, sending a sliver of the copper casing flying out, striking Tom in the head. He fell back on the hill, frightening my sister when she saw the trickle of blood appear in his forehead. He was only grazed, but he played it up for all it was worth. He called his unsuspecting mother as soon as they returned to our home and told her to sit down because he had some bad news. He proceeded to inform her that he had been shot in the head, but was not injured so badly that he could not call to inform her of his demise. Poor woman! He scared her half to death!

Notes from Catherine Paquelet Dzurec
Helen was a truly lovely person. She was a good friend of my mother, Norma
Jean Knopp Paquelet, and visited several times a month to deliver eggs from her
chickens. She called the money she made selling the fresh eggs to friends and family
her "pin money." We looked forward to her visits and went to the farm to visit several
times a year as well. We enjoyed all the animals, especially the collies that she and Carl
had at the farm, all of which were called "King." Helen and Carl had no children.Helen Smith's obituary:
