Lewis 'Lew' B. Castner, my maternal grandfather was a night
watchman/boilerman when he passed away at the age of 75 on March
11, 1963. Lew was an ordinary, hard-working man, neither
financially wealthy nor famous. However, Lew was wealthy with
friends and family, the rooms at the funeral home in Belvidere were
packed with people. Lew's funeral service provided inspiration for
this book. The pastor gave a short sermon; he then asked if anyone
cared to tell a tale about my grandfather. A number of people, one
after another, stood up and told a story about Lew. I was eight,
and wished that I had a pad and a pen to record the stories,
regretting that they would be lost to memory. The compilation of
these stories, as poems, is to preserve them from being lost to
memory. Bloodroot was the name of a plant displayed in my botany
class at West Virginia Wesleyan College. The stem when cut
resembles bleeding. In regards to genealogical bloodlines I
concluded that the term Bloodroot would be a good title for this
collection of mostly family stories. My daughter Beth Ann suggested
the title 101 Dadmations, and the two were combined: Bloodroot: 101
Dadmations.
