As Told by Emeline LeSueur Lynds
"Roy was very well-liked among his friends and the older as well as younger people. He worked with father in the store at different times, but most of the time was the farm work. He was very kind to us children. I don't recall him scolding me but once when he met my girl friend and I riding our horse straddle that was very unlady-like. But we had a saddle and had been up to Primary up at Eagar, and had stayed to a practice and probably had been playing some place, so it was about to get dusk so we got on the horse astride and were galloping like sixty when who should we meet but Roy. He gave me a good going over and shamed me terribly. I don't remember if he told mother and father or not, but I was punished enough for what he had said. We girls had to ride with what we called a cirsingle which was buckled around the horse and held the blanket on which we sat, and we could hold on the strap with one hand and hold the bridle reins with the other."
