A TOUGH OLD COWBOY  FROM  SOUTH TEXAS   COUNSELED HIS  GRANDDAUGHTER THAT IF SHE WANTED TO LIVE A LONG LIFE,  THE SECRET WAS TO SPRINKLE A PINCH OF GUN POWDER ON HER  OATMEAL EVERY MORNING.
      
       THE GRANDDAUGHTER DID THIS RELIGIOUSLY TO THE  AGE OF 103 WHEN SHE DIED.
    
       SHE LEFT BEHIND 14 CHILDREN, 30  GRANDCHILDREN, 45 GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, 25  GREAT-GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, AND A 15-FOOT HOLE WHERE THE  CREMATORIUM USED TO BE.
