Some of the stories, as told or as remembered, weren't historically accurate. Below is a version that is, probably, more accurate. Also recounted are some tales that, while not strickly involving Dick, it does involve an ancestor.

Jack Aungst - My recollection of the Sunfield Cemetery was that Grandpa Daniel deeded 3 acres to the Village of Sunfield in exchange for his becoming the sexton of the cemetery. This sort of jibes with the earliest burial in the cemetery being in 1904. Grandpa Danielcame to Sunfield during the 1890's as a young man and would have owned the land before 1904. Our father Donald sold the Village 3 an additional 3 acres in the 1940's.

Jack Aungst - Our Grandfather, Daniel Aungst, as town Sexton of the Sunfield Cemetary, was once faced with the task of preparing a grave site during winter when the top soil was frozen solid. He had to get it dug by the next day at 10:00 a.m. when the burial was to take place. In the morning, he sent his two teenage sons, Donald and Bona, out before daylight with kerosine lanterns to get a head start on the digging. Just before dawn, the boys had broken through the frozen topsoil and knew they would easily finish the job before 10:00 a.m. At this time, they heard singing in the vicinity of the road which passed by the Cemetery. The singing came from an Irishman an who lived in the neighborhood. He had spent the night drinking and card playing at the Town Tavern and was heading home. As the boys watched, he staggered along the road and into a snow bank where he passed out. The boys, thinking to play a prank on the Irishman, picked him up, and deposited him in the partially dug grave with his head facing East,in hopes that the rising sun would wake him up. It worked like a charm. He awoke, stood up, shook dirt and snow from his clothes, looked around, and said "Resurrection Morning, be Jesas, and I'm the first Son of a Bitch up!"

Jack Aungst - Our Uncle Charley was married to our father's sister, Velma. On one occasion Charley, Velma and our parents went together to a local fair that featured a Hoochie Coochie Show. A Hoochie Coochie Show was a sexually provocative dance which was popularized during the Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1893. The men were eager to take in the show. The women were a little reluctant, but curious and agreed to go with the men. After the show Velma was reported to have said, "I could have done it better", and Charlie was reported to have replied "but she never has".
