The Strange Bedfellow

Shannon Hollon

My great grandfather Robert Bearden(pawpaw) (1898-1984) was a true outdoorsman cut from the same cloth as Davy Crockett.

Robert Bearden (1898-1984)

I heard a story once when he was coon hunting and lost his pack of hounds and he searched for hours, being a long ways from home he decided to build a campfire and bed down for the night when he woke the next morning he found a timber rattler curled up asleep lying next to him.
