The story is that when Theo was a little boy his mother asked him to load the gun because she was going to kill a chicken for supper.  He did what she said and then she took the gun and shot her head off.  He was never quite the same after that.  He was a very quiet man.  She is buried in the Watwood Roach Cemetery at Slater.
