“Stubbles From the Farm”

Writings of W.A. Edwards

compiled by K.C. Willis (grandson)

I am at a bit of a disadvantage writing about a man I never met. Those who remember him will each have their personal remembrances, that I know nothing about, but wish I did. 

I have a hard time using the term "Grandfather" to describe this man. The name "Bill" comes easier and I will use it as I relate information about him. 

To a lot of people, Bill Edwards was "Stubbles from the Farm" in the person of "Claud Hopper" the central character in this farm based series. 

Bill used people from the "Big Bend" area as characters for his Stubbles stories, mostly under names he made up. His wife became Mandy Hopper, Hugh Archer became Abe Ashton and his wife was Levinia.(the list is long of his characters) to read more click on this link......
