Washed clothes. Us girls went after the cows. Went down to Olive and Warren's. We played on the swings.

Buster Keaton (1895-1966)

Born in Piqua, Kansas, Keaton was confined to a sanitarium in 1934 for
alcoholism. He escaped his straitjacket using a secret learned from the magician Harry Houdini. Keaton later gained control of his drinking.
