W. F. Staples was remembered as an Adair Countian known for training horses, especially with music. He is reported to have trained his military horses to back up by singing to them. He was of the Presbyterian faith and while the songs he used in training are not known, they would likely have been good Protestant ones. Comments | Permalink
