In Crow's Nest, Lilian Hays Oliver wrote, "In 1940, when the government agent called upon Joe, even he was moved when the poor old Negro, with tears streaming down his cheeks, knelt beside a chair which he was using for a table on which to sign his option - for the land only, as the house had burned down about 1920." Chandler was ninety-one years old at the time.
