"My father used to take me to the mill with him when I was a kid. That
was in slavery time. He went in a wagon and took me with him.
"The biggest thing I did was to play with the other kids. They had me do
such work as pick berries, hunt up the stock, drive the sheep home from
the pasture. And as near as I can remember it seems like they had me
more picking berries or gathering peaches or something like that.
