We always trimmed those off in the ringing chute if it wasn’t already done. I once saw Dad knock a set of them out with a hammer.

Picture is a couple years ago, he was a borrowed stud that has since died of old age at his farm.
But yes, I would not have kept him around long with that kind of weaponry.

I took advantage of the cooler weather and knocked down a couple dead yard trees yesterday. Nothing particularly interesting, no pics. Cleaned up the brush, making some firewood today

Few pictures of the Ritchey mansion in Newtonia. Struck by a couple cannonballs during the wall one of which was lodged in the corner where you can see some bricks missing. I still remember my grandparents telling me the ball was there when I was growing up. Don't know who took it out. The black room was used as a makeshift hospital and was painted because there is so much blood stained into the floor that it would not come clean. Need to remember that amputation was used for a lot of battlefield wounds.

Metal rods run through the floor to help keep the walls from bowing.

I think there is still a civil war cannonball in the courthouse in Lexington,Mo also.
