Hector Joseph Billa

My Mom's oldest brother, Hector, was named for his father. He was born on April 18, 1908. As a teenager he was experimenting and making
an explosive devise of some kind out of gunpowder....don't remember the details. He blew
his right hand off and also had scars on his face. I remember Mom showing me a newspaper
account of the accident. It never slowed him down!
