A Child is Born (The Great Hope of Walden & Sons)
Samuel Warden built coffins, but only as a sideline. Home building had long since become the great love of his life, and today held the promise of happiness, of completion. He pounded the last few nails in a child's coffin, then hurried back to the housing tract, where he stood for a time just surveying his accomplished work, savoring the job site with pleasure and anticipating the finished product, which would be a new home for some middle class family.
Meanwhile, his wife writhed and moaned and screamed out in pain until at last the child was born. Her cousin, who was the midwife, used a shank of her own hair to wipe the sweat from her pock-marked forehead, and handed the baby to its mother.
That baby, within fifteen minutes, would become The Great Hope of Samuel and Sons Construction Company. Some fifteen years later, the child would choose adventure over family business. The family hero would become the Great Disappointment of the company and, as such, the focus of our tale.
Mrs. Warden's midwife, exhausted from the ordeal of delivering yet another child, seated herself on the bedside and sent one of the baby's numerous cousins running, ordered him up to the construction site where, breathless from the exertion, the youngster announced T.J.'s birth. Samuel Warden, a carpenter and builder by trade, stood in the wooden framework amongst newly constructed walls, and stopped sawing. The joy bells that resounded in his head might as well have been angels announcing the birth. Such was his mood.

About F. Ellsworth Lockwood (and the power of writing)

(Autobiographical Information and testimony about The Power of Writing"
Writing is a way to know oneself. Writing can be a match that ignites the flames of love, or a way to contact, control and understand oneself; it can be a balm soothe one's frayed nerves; it can also be a torch of rebellion. For me has been all of the above at one time or another.
