Per Pat Owen Breeding: "Great Uncle Wesley Breeding lived to be about 102 years old. He was a son of George "Pud" Breeding.  An old man approximately in his eighties, no children living, he gave the Masons his property at Breeding's Creek in exchange for them taking care of him in his old age.  He came here to Shelbyville, KY, near Louisville and lived the remainder of his live at the Masonic Home.  When on leave from the Air Force, I would go visit him.  Later years sometimes he would recognize me, other times not. "As a young boy at Breeding's Creek, Uncle Wes treated me like a son. He gave me candy from his store, allowed me to roller skate free at his Roller Rink, let me watch the picture shows free on Saturday night. "I have about 4 or 5 typewritten pages of his life story. Carlice (Carl) Breeding, genealogist of the family, also visited him often in Shelbyville.  Lonnie, wife of Carlice, author of several books, typed up his life story from many notes Uncle Wes had lying around.  As a young man, he travelled out West, married, all his children died very young.  He came back to Breeding's Creek without his wife.  Don't know if they were divorced or what.  He never married again.  My Aunt told me he was very dangerous with his pistol.  I guess he was a gunslinger.  In his typewritten life story, he states that when he was a small boy, he played with the Indian children around, and that they used bow and arrows to shoot fish and that wild game was plentiful in those days."
