Mom wrote about her childhood: "Our home was full of love and being taken care of by my grandmother, my father's mother. Her name was Nan Peppers. My mother worked in a textile mill from six in the morning until six at night. We would always get to go to the grocery store with her. And if Lucile and I scrubbed the kitchen floor, we would get five cents to spend at the store. My brother would haul the groceries home in his red wagon that he had got for Christmas. "Our grandmother was a very strict person. We had to stay in our yard when we were not at school or being sent someplace. We had a place that we played in for hours at a time. It was a large barn that wood was kept in. The lady next door gave us her old catalogs, and we spent hours cutting out paper dolls. Our childhood was a happy one. We had good times with our friends at school which was located on an acre of land in front of our house. "Our Christmas was really a good time. Our aunts and uncles from Florida always sent toys and books and clothes. One Christmas I got two pair of shoes. One pair had a $ 1 dollar bill tied to the string, but my grandmother wouldn't let me keep it. She bought new socks with it. "Even though I was a shy little girl I was happy. We had no TV then, but people had time for each other. Our cousins came to see us on Sunday, or we went to their house. We always had a big dinner on that day. I got to go to church every Sunday. When I was six years old, I learned the books of the Bible, and lots of Bible verses too over the years. I got saved at 16, and ever since, church has meant a lot to me." Her life was not always easy, but she seemed to see the bright side of things. I miss Mom very much. I believe she is still enjoying life -- her new life with Jesus and lots of people she knew here.

We lived in a small town called Alexander City in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. My father died just 15 days before I was six years old with his third stroke of paralysis at the age of fifty-four. My mother died at the age of ninety-two, I think from arthritis. I attended school in the building that housed a church and school together. I don't think I ever saw one like it anywhere. It was a company building. The company payed the teachr's salary and everything, I think. That was for the low grades, one through six, I think. They later built a larger building for higher grades. I liked a little finishing the ninth grade. I had to go to work in the weave mill at the age of 14 years old. I worked half time and went to school half time. They worked twelve hours a day then. I worked six hours and then went to school, till I was sixten. And then I went to work full time twelve hours a day for one dollar a day. I was glad to get that, but things began to get better and better, and up and down. My mother married again when I was about nine years old. I was saved by the grace of God at the age of twelve or thirteen. My mother and step-father were church-goers. I met my wife Laura at a revival in Talladega, AL. And I had an old model Ford raodster, and I went back and forth from Alexander City to Talladega to court her. The roads were crooked and were not paved. We were married about six months later on Dec. 23, 1938. Laura worked in a cotton mill just outside Talladetga. in a place called Bemiston. She quit there and went to work in a mill at Alexander City. We left Alex City--in 1942. We went to Talladega for a few months and then went on to Anniston in late 1943 right after our first child was born. Ronnie LaWayne was born Sept. 4, 1943. We had another child on Sept. 19, 1945. We named him Robert Wallace. When we went to Anniston, we moved into a brick store building. And I ran a radio repair service and built us a house to move into. We moved into our new house in January, 1946. And were we proud we had our own house. That was 42 years ago, and we are still here by the grace of God. We are still saved and looking for the Lord to return.".
