-
"I know'd we'd bury him on this prairie.

-
his mama and daddy both dead.
-
His granddaddy was killed by a lunatic and buried in the woods like a dog."

-

-
That's who was killed by a lunatic and buried in the woods like a dog.
-
The brother who's been killed by the kid, now the man, tried

So, we know that he has become a killer of men with that same taste
