Occupation

"My father and his father and mother were all farmers. My mother and her

mother were farmers too. All my people were long-lived. Grandpa,

grandma, and all of them. I reckon there about a hundred children

scattered back there in Tennessee. Brother's children and sister's

children. I believe my folks would take care of me if they knew about my

condition. These folks here are mean. Them folks would take care of me

if I were home."
