Notes for EARL ALLEN ORRICK:
Earl Orrick was the youngest of eight children. In his youth he was athletic and adventurous. He liked sports and games, both intellectual and physical. Before marriage he participated in baseball leagues of Western Arkansas and played football at the University of Arkansas in 1907-1908 where he studied Engineering; however, from the tales I heard as a boy, he was probably more interested in the football than in earning a degree.
Earl maintained his good physical conditioning up into mid-eighties and beyond. Stories about his physical prowess were legend among the neighboring farmers who helped us each year to put up the hay on the large river-bottom meadow of Earl's 232-acre farm located on the Petit Jean River four miles NW of Booneville, Arkansas. Each neighbor would bring a team, wagon, and a grown son to help in the baling and hauling of hay. Sometimes an animal would break loose and go streaking across the meadow -- Earl would then give chase, on foot, and bring the errant beast back to work. Sometimes, it appeared, a speedy mule may have been "accidentally" released, just to see if Earl could catch the critter.
Although Earl did not get his degree, his Engineering Studies helped on the farm. I can recall a foot bridge he designed and installed, with the help of neighbors, to facilitate foot traffic across the Petit Jean River which flowed through the southern edge of the Orrick Farm. The primary supports for the bridge were two one-inch diameter steel cables, spanning the river in paralell and anchored to large white oak trees on both north and south banks of the river. The paralell cables were spaced four feet apart. Cross pieces of sturdy two-inch oak were fastened to the cables at intervals of four feet across the entire span; this provided a platform onto which oak walkway planks, paralell to the cables, were firmly secured. As a safety measure (and a sop to the timid souls) a waist-high fence of woven "hog wire" graced each side of the finished span. The fence, supported at top by smaller cables, was anchored to the main bridge cables at bottom. This structure was known as The Swinging Bridge. An apt name, indeed!
By occupation Earl was both farmer and railroad trainman; he retired from the Rock Island Line as conductor in the late 1940's.
In the fall of 1929, Earl moved the family to Haileyville, OK, where he could get better pay and working hours on the Rock Island Railroad.. But few people, least of all Earl, knew that a Great Depression was in the making. The Good Times did not roll for long. Came the Stock Market Crash of October 1929 and economic strife that followed. Earl, with a large family to support, toughed it out for two years in Oklahoma. After increasingly diminishing job calls he was forced back to the farm in the spring of 1931and could not go back to railroading until about 1940.
Earl had to be a Jack-of-All-Trades on that old farm. He always kept a good barber kit to cut the many heads of hair in the family; even cut some of the neighbor kids hair!. Then there was the shoe last, stand, hammers, shoe tacks and leather; he repaired all the shoes in the family.
Earl was also a good neighbor. Among his good deeds was writing letters for some of those in that rural community who could neither read nor write. This built up a special trust and respect for him among those he helped; at times they would ask his advice of matters that were important to them. One middle aged widower, although not illiterate, prevailed upon Earl to write letters for him to a widow he was courting by mail; nothing came of the budding romance but the help was sincerely appreciated by that lonely man.
