Today I'm gonna start to tell you about the story of Legion. Legion were a man who lived in Harper back in the 1930's. He started out good. He were named John after his daddy and Legion which were a old family name on his mother's side. John Legion were a real good ball player. He throwed ball long and straight and they made him head pitcher and quarterback. They still got his medals and silver cups in a glass case over in Harper High School. When I were just a little boy he were my hero. Then he went off to school at the university and he come home with a wife. And some wife she were, all shiny and bubbly. At first all the girls in town was jealous of her. It didn't take long before they figured out she were no good. And it warn't more'n a month after they come here that peoples noticed her belly growing. They figured out how she hooked our hero, Legion. Now I have to stop here and tell you Legion's grandma on his daddy's side were scared to death of that name Legion. It come from his mama's side of the family, but grandma knew it from the Bible. That were the guy what Jesus cast the demons out of and sent them into the pigs what run into the lake and drowned.
