Interviewer's Comment

Ella Johnson is about eighty-five years old. Her father went to war

when the War first broke out. Her mother ran away then and went to

Churchill's farm not later than 1862. Ella Johnson learned to plow

then and she was at least nine years old she says and perhaps older

when she learned to plow. So she must be at least eighty-five.
